65 Members met today's leader, Rene Laukat, at the Allen Gardens Greenhouse
We set off walking through Cabbage Town where Rene pointed the house she lived in when first coming to Canada
Soon we reached Riverdale Farm where members had another chance to "water their horse"
Moving along we walked through the Regents Park area which has almost been demolished
and replaced with modern buildings
Similarly the area known as Corktown has several interesting artistic structures intermixed with modern condominiums
In contrast we entered the Distillery District again another opportunity to relieve a bunch of "Senior Bladders"
After feeding our faces at Loblaws on Lower Jarvis we headed west along Queens Quay and then up to the Steam Whistle Brewery to refill our bladders.
The last leg of the journey was to navigate our way to another Hostelry, The Wheatsheaf, where I was particularly pleased to find the beer glasses much bigger!
Rene wasn't sure at the start she could complete the 10+ km hike due to an injured knee. Mary Ayers and myself were ready to take over but like a trooper she made it all the way.
