Nature Walk




Went for a nature walk this evening. Lots of mosquitoes although it was windy. It was risky pausing to take a few photos! You'd get attacked.

One of the men at our local convenience store told me he's a Russian citizen. He's originally from Afghanistan, but lived in Russia for 20 years and speaks Russian. Interesting how global everyone is around here. My hairdresser is Armenian if I remember correctly, but lived in Greece for 4 years and learned the language. However, is he Lebanese originally. That's Toronto for you.

Sounds like Toronto is a pretty cool place :-) I could skip the mosquitoes, though.

Sounds like mosquitoes are everywhere. My daughter in Illinois says they are being eaten alive by them.

I sooo soooo love this blog post. Boy, how I miss that cosmopolitan feel you get in a city like yours. Love that. here, people are from CO, Nebraska and many from Iowa. Sometimes CA too. Rarely ever any Indians or people from Asia at all. we do have tons of legal and illegal Hispanics though, to add some diversity here. I have yet in 20 years ever met anyone like me here who actually grew up in London proper. doubt i ever will. :(.
