Whoever said that you can't get lost in downtown Toronto clearly did not travel with me. I walked around for what felt like forever until I found that damn ferry docking station, so I guess I was suppose to get off at King instead of Union, but good thing I did leave at union or else I wouldn't have been able to capture these.

The dock was probably the most relaxing part of my travel. Albeit I did feel really alone because everyone had babies, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, strollers, uncles, and aunts with them, and I never felt more like a creep with a camera. As much as I wanted to take pictures of the families doing their thing, I feel like I'd get attacked and accused of advocating child pornography.

The more I write about Toronto the more I'm beginning to think i'm a tourist or a tour guide. "Did you know that there is more to the islands than just Centre Island?" While the majority of people know what Centre Island is, I don't think a lot of people know about ALL the islands. Surrounding Centre island, there are 4 other islands named Forestry Island, Snake Island, South Island, and RCYC Island (Royal Canadian Yacht Club).

I have no idea if I walked through all of them, but all i know is that it's a much more interesting place than I originally thought.

The only thing I have to complain about is the amount of bird crap EVERYWHERE, there's a sign that clearly says "Please walk on the grass", but there's bird excrements EVERYWHERE. Now why would the park put us through all that...
