Day 23: Graffiti Alley

 Dear Gilles, 

Today, we had more adventures downtown. We started off with two separate meet ups for Facebook Marketplace - Lug Bags. One is wheelie for our future train trip, the other is a smallish tote that will always be handy. 

Then we got together with Cindy and her doggo. 

We headed out towards Graffiti Alley - where Rick Mercer did many of his rants.

And then we went to Kensington Market where we found dill pickles that promise to be sour, and cheese. 







We ended up at the The Well

The website link doesn't do it justice. It's a large, very new, shopping centre - with an open air feel, but there's a glass roof - and it's built DOWN in to the ground. 

The food court was not the typical mall food court and had all sorts of fast food style - but different. A step up from the mall food court. I encouraged the boys to try a ramen bowl.  The broth was very roast pork tasting, which made for rich and delicious flavours. 

Then we went to Crumbl. I wish I had taken photos of the cookies. The flavours this week include, cheesecake, chocolate chunk, red velvet and brownie. The actual cookies are bigger than the super large coffee mugs, and I split each in to 4 quarters for tasting the variety. 

A great day in a different part of Toronto I rarely see. 

The evening finished off with a sister night of dinner and drinks within walking distance on the Danforth.
