Leslie Spit


So on Sunday Danielle and I decided to go for a hike/walk along the Leslie spit.

The walk was about 10-15km and took us about 2.5 hours in total. It was great to get out under the sun again, since this was the first weekend where it was really sunny and warm. I did burn my arms slightly but I consider it a nice base for all of my future summer activities.



The spit is pretty interesting, although I'm assuming that it is far more beautiful during the full summer months when the green plants cover much of the concrete and rebar that was used to build the spit. There is also an ugly side and a pretty side, or a side where there are continuing to dump concrete and a side where they have stopped.



Still it is pretty neat that this place exists this close to the city, and it was really cool to see all the people that came out to use it. I'm sure that it's not generally that busy every weekend, but when its 21+ and sunny on a Sunday for the first time that year it really gets everyone outside.



After the hike we took a spin to the Distillery District and picked up some fresh buns, which we then turned into pizza buns when we got home.



It was also Matt's Birthday on Saturday, so happy birthday Matt!
