Today began with a 5 mile run in Hyde Park. Another cloudy day and a bit cooler than yesterday.
We decided to do a bit of shopping in the strand. Terri bought a dress that should work at our annual trip to the jazz festival held at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.
Shopping was followed by a walk through the botanical gardens. Lots of great views of the harbour, flowers, and other interesting things.
The Conservatorium of Music on the grounds of the Botanical Garden. Nothing happening here as everyone is on summer vacation. I did go inside and heard a student practicing flute.
Great day walking these grounds. Looks like a nice place to do our run.
Dinner plans were made last week for the Riley Street Garage. Great food. More like a high end restaurant than the bar atmosphere suggests. Our waitress was from Montreal. She came for a visit 5 years ago and never went back home.
We did comment to each other on the way back on the large number of young people on the streets of this city. Most of the woman wear dresses whether it it is work or casual attire. Most men and woman are in great shape.
It is obviously very safe here. People out and about with young children at all times of the day.
