The Lakeshore: A Little Something for Everyone

7/13/2014

0 Comments

 
The great thing about the Lakeshore is that it offers something for everyone -- truly, whether I turn left or right out of my building's driveway, whether I walk, bike or TTC it, I can drink tea, meet with colleagues or friends/family, shop for fresh produce, gourmet chocolate or Kleenex, drugs and toilet paper, I can swim, do laundry, eat Indian, Thai and Mexican, I can fly airplanes and more.... all along the Lakeshore!!!

Case in point: After meeting with a work colleague to discuss curriculum mapping for next year while devouring a scrumptious Morning Glory breakfast muffin and an unsweetened chai latte made by a delightfully androgynous young
person at Birds and Beans next door, I headed off in the opposite direction, to meet some fellow parents of multiples: three sets of twins and one set of triplets enjoyed an afternoon of soaking and soccer at the splashpad on Lakeshore, near Dixie.
Back at home later on, I met a friend for dinner -- Thai! Just  short walk from my building, still on the Lakeshore, in the other direction once again.

The next morning, it was off to the Airport, also along Lakeshore, to go flying...

This time my bike was faster and more enjoyable than public transit, and I biked all along the path -- past the Sat morning Farmers' Market (also on the Lakeshore!) -- to the ferry at the foot of Bathurst.

Along the way I saw many people out rollerblading, biking or jogging; my favourite was a family with four kids: One child followed mom on his own bike, another rode tandem with dad, while a third and fourth were attached in a trailer behind the tandem-riding kid attached to dad's bike!

Upon biking back home after flying, I enjoyed lunch on the balcony of my apartment overlooking the Lake and the CN Tower I had just encircled at 2000 ft., and celebrated my good fortune at having found a place to call home along the Lakeshore.

    Vera & her Sons, April 2021
    After writing for several teacher and multiple birth publications, including ETFO's Voice Magazine, Multiple Moments, and the Bulletwin, Vera turned her written attention to prolific blogging for some years, including BiB,  "Learn to Fly with Vera!"  and SMARTbansho .  Homeschooling 4 was her travel blog in Argentina.  She now spends more time on her Instagram (@schalgzeug_usw)  than her blog (pictures are worth a thousand words?!)
