The Beaches in Toronto - 2

Here is the continuation of our adventures.

We walked a couple of blocks and then boarded a street car on Queens Road. The driver told us when we reached our destination - the beaches. Contrary to what the name suggests, the beaches is actually a district in Toronto. The road is filled with shops selling all kinds of items. Some looked so similar to the shops in India. There were lots of tourists. It seemed to be the tulip season and so we saw lots of pretty flowers everywhere. We walked for sometime, did window shopping, had coffee at Second Cup, went to the library and finally headed towards the board walk.

There were lots of pretty houses, pretty gardens and parks. The shores of Lake Ontario looked very beautiful. There was a long walking stretch with wooden boards. The banks had pebbles and sand. The lake was huge and almost looked like a sea. We sat on the pebbles and just enjoyed the wind and the sound of water splashing. There were many people walking their dogs and I saw all kinds of breeds. C8 and I finally played with one cute dog while A was busy clicking pictures. How I wish I had a dog. Sigh !

It was evening and we headed back home. This time there were no adventures.

I would strongly recommend seeing 'the beaches' for anyone visiting Toronto.
