Condo Life

We've been living the condo(minium) life for a week now and are feeling pretty settled in. Luckily, our friendly landlords have furnished the apartment beautifully, so we haven't needed to provide much more than our suitcases. There is a nice view from the balcony facing the harbourfront, and the nearby St James cathedral chimes a helpful hourly reminder of the time. We are situated in the St Lawrence Market area, so there's a great fresh food market and lots of nice restaurants within walking distance. Actually everything in Toronoto seems to be within walking distance, so we've covered a fair few ks exploring the city. Everyone who lives here seems to own a small dog and we often see them coming in and out for walkies too.

Yesterday we made use of the Bixi system (short term bicycle rentals) and rode down along Lake Shore Boulevard, which faces Lake Ontario. There were some nice parklands and small beaches, I bet it will be even prettier in the Fall/Autumn.
