toronto island day
finally a saturday off! bren and i went to this: http://chariotfestival.com/. the parade is apparently sunday and not saturday like i hoped. big disappointment. but, we ended up going to center island where the festivites were happening. its a hot a huuuuumid day. it looks like rain too. overcast and grey. taking the ferry over was pretty cool, its only 6 bux round trip, takes about 15-20 min. its a whole different world out there i tell ya. a couple of beaches, a few snack bars, bikes and 2-4 person peddle cars.
we finally found the hare krishna tents after a 5 min. walk from the ferries. smack dab in the middle of the island and some regatta races. colorful signs and saris and flowers, and oh my shiva, the longest line for the free vegitarian food!
