We're getting toward the end of the day, here. And it has been a busy one, including hits and misses. We decided to cap it off something mellow, a walk along the shores of Lake Ontario. We found on the map that Confederation Park in Hamilton looks like a good place for such a visit.
Confederation Park has huge parking lot and bath houses and a lot of other facilities... which, this afternoon, are all practically empty. Some of them even look closed for the season. It's still August! Of course here in Canada it's already kind of Autumn. The high temperature in this week's forecast range from the high 60s to low 70s (20-22° C). Not exactly beach weather.
Fortunately I didn't come here wanting a beach today, just a mellow stroll along the lake. Confederation Park delivers. I was surprised to see off in the distance across the lake I could see the downtown Toronto skyline. (And I could tell it was Toronto and not Mississauga because of the CN Tower.)
