Sunday, June 14, 2009 – Day 17
We spent the morning in a local friendly multicultural church. It was amazing to see the variety of cultures that gather in Toronto. It definitely gave us a flavour on what to expect in what is said to be one of North America’s most diversely cultural cities.
In the afternoon the people we came to visit were not home and so we decided to relax in a nearby park. We used our GPS from GPSCentral.ca to help us locate Edward Gardens which was recommended to us by some locals at church. We brought a blanket and a lunch and enjoyed a few hours reading travel books and relaxing in the warm sun. It was the perfect place as this beautiful park had open spaces for the kids to run around and play in. Our 6 kids sure miss our big backyard and were only too happy to let this park make them feel at home as the ran around from corner to corner and from tree to tree (although we did notice later they were not supposed to climb the trees).
In the evening before heading home we decided to visit the Ontario Legislature. Sunday evening was the perfect day for a visit with a RV. Although we were not supposed to park directly in front of the entrance, there was nobody around and we were able to stop long enough to get some photos of this beautiful building at the centre of Queen’s Park.
