One of the great things about staying in downtown Toronto is the food. Last night, I had a green curry dish at a Thai restaurant that was a 2 minute walk away; and I just finished enjoying some fine Indian Cuisine at Bombay Palace, about 90 seconds away. I had the traditional vegetarian meal for one, some many incredible flavors! My belly is happy. I’ve been reading a book called “Flow”, and here’s a few lines I read yesterday on the plane that are now appropriate:
“As long as one strives to become a gourmet or a connoisseur of wines because it is the “in” thing to do, striving to master an externally imposed challenge, then taste may easily turn sour. But a cultivated palate provides many opportunities for flow if one approaches eating—and cooking—in a spirit of adventure and curiosity, exploring the potentials of food for the sake of the experience rather than as a showcase for one’s expertise.”
Yesterday I woke up to snow in Vancouver; the 40 minutes drive to the airport took 2 1/2 hours because, as the Quebecois guy at the airport explained “just two centimeters of snow and the city went crazy”. But what was weirder is that Toronto is grey, and wet, just how Vancouver is supposed to be?
Today I visited Glenforest Secondary School is Mississauga to give a Trials of Life presentation. It was one of two winning schools from the contest I held on PinkBike.com. Since it was a free presentation, they school took the initiative to raise some funds for their bike club, and also a cause of my choosing, which was the David Suzuki Foundation. Thanks Guys!
I noticed a yoga studio when walking about, again, it’s like 2 minutes away; I think I’ll go grab a little hatha class to finish off the day.
Ride on!
