Another reason why it was great to spend some time in Ucluelet / Tofino this past weekend. Mara and Ralphie had a great time chasing birds along the tidal flats below our cabin in Ucluelet, and chasing around on Wickaninnish Beach following our wedding ceremony (pictures to come soon). <br /><br />There is some good news for the soon-to-be urban dogs, however. I have read in my Lonely Planet Toronto City Guide, that Toronto dogs are allowed on the subway! Moreover, "[u]nlike many western cities where hounds are tied up on the sidewalk, Toronto's mutts can freely access shopping malls, supermarkets, cafes, the PATH network and the subway."<br /><br />Woof woof!Naomi @ WCOEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15571427561490360262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620598262094554773.post-78227870146963509202007-08-04T20:49:00.000-07:002007-08-04T21:36:24.285-07:00It's Official!We're moving to Toronto! <br /><br />I can't believe I'm actually leaving BC and off to spend some time in a new province. Wow. I've already discovered a number of interesting places to check out, both within and outside of the city, and I have listed some of these places in the sidebar of this blog. <br /><br />I found the picture below, Toronto View with Boat, in the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/">Flickr Creative Commons</a> collection, by photographer <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mutephotoblog/">Mute*</a>. What I love about this picture is the amazing cityscape, contrasted by a tiny boat pulled ashore upon what could be a deserted island. The shore in this picture, of course, is one of the islands off the Toronto Harbour. I am hoping to seek out as many patches of wild among the urban landscape as I can.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjStheeePgSRZraaVoJX3t4KyGD1RC8k0B_dubdKMTPfjivJoLHlLRerE9ZEdm6PJOTXLFaEXWhAxMCIGQin5V4mKSbE4qypPidUa6cClTGsQNkYgL4AX0DIv2b6K36h-xLrRvbWM6y0Bay/s1600-h/Toronto_View_with_Boat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjStheeePgSRZraaVoJX3t4KyGD1RC8k0B_dubdKMTPfjivJoLHlLRerE9ZEdm6PJOTXLFaEXWhAxMCIGQin5V4mKSbE4qypPidUa6cClTGsQNkYgL4AX0DIv2b6K36h-xLrRvbWM6y0Bay/s400/Toronto_View_with_Boat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094713426366429442" /></a>Naomi @ WCOEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15571427561490360262noreply@blogger.com0
