Owen and I visited the Toronto Islands. The hostel rented us bikes, and we cycled to a ferry which took us to Henlan Island.

The ferry departed, and our field of view widened until the whole coast was visible, the low buildings to the west rising to taller towers before breaking for a bridge, then finally ascending to skyscrapers and the titanic CN tower. Henlan Island itself comprises a mile-long stretch of lawn surrounded by a thin forest, then beach, then Lake Ontario. Two asphalt paths cut across the island.

We began biking the path, and although the temperature was a little warm, the lake breeze cooled us just enough that we were in heaven.

Then we biked the island some more and returned to the hostel where we ended the day.

Now, my mother has brought to my attention that the blog has been suffering a shortage of photos of the author.

Unfortunately, I only took one photo today, the view from the roof of my hostel at night:

Sorry, ma. I'll do better next time.
