We had a really great sleep last night and when we got up this morning, we got ready and headed out for a run/walk first thing.
We made a slight detour on the way and ended up going through this 'animal' park and this fountain with all the dogs on it was so cute.
Then we passed by this giant eagle sculpture on the outside of a building.
Cool

Jason and I split up again - but we both went in the same direction was the opposite of the way we'd gone yesterday.
Jason ended up in this park area that he said was really nice.
I didn't quite make it that far when he texted to say he was turning back - I turned back too.
I did a combo of running and walking again today, maybe a little less running than yesterday but I still felt good.
Jason found a bagel spot with really good reviews that was nearby our hotel so we decided to stop there on the way back to grab breakfast.
It was inside of an office building but down in the underneath pathways and there were stores and restaurants and food courts all over.
We went all over the place down there but just could not find the bagel place we were looking for.
We asked a few people for directions but still no luck.
After about a half hour of walking around and searching to no avail, we happened upon another bagel place and just decided to eat there.
It was a really nice little food court area, it had a little grocery store next to it where you could get all kinds of stuff including these warm cookies that looked so yummy.
The Epic Cookie - it was huge too.
Jason and I split one.
After breakfast, we went back to our room, cleaned up and then decided to take the subway over to High Park.
There is a pizza place over there that does a black garlic pizza that Jason has been wanting to try for some time.
It was about a 20 minute walk to the subway from our room and we saw some cool murals along the way.
It's hard to get the whole thing in with the phone on my camera.
So here's a closer shot of part of this mural.
There happened to be a Chick-fil-a on our route so we stopped in and shared some grilled chicken nuggets.
They are so good!
The street we turned onto to get into the subway station had all these huge birds in flower beds all along the street.
They weere all different colors.
So super cute - I loved them.
We hopped on the subway - it was our first time taking a subway in Toronto.
It was pretty straight forward.
We got off at the High Park stop then it was another 20 minute walk over to the pizza place that we were going to.
It was in a neat area that had a great vibe.
We found the spot - Burattino.
They had some delicious looking cookies in their window, the Queen Pistachio White Chocolate Chip was calling to me.
So I got one and we cracked into it while we were waiting for our pizzas.
It had pistachio cream and white chocolate inside and it was ooey gooey - just the way I like a cookie to be.
Close up!
It was just a small pizza place.
I saw that they had a white clam pizza so I wanted to try that.
We also ordered the black garlic pizza that we came for.
I liked the crust on the pizza, the black garlic was not my favorite.
We both ended up liking the white clam pizza better.
Overall, the pizza was just ok - we wouldn't go out of our way to go back but would eat there again if we happened to be in the area.
We just started walking around the area and ended up in a park.
The tulips were all in bloom.
So many beautiful colors.
And this tree was just gorgeous.
WOW.
What a beautiful sight.
We passed by High Park on our way to the subway station and saw some bikes for rent so decided to get a couple of those instead and bike back downtown.
We made it downtown and saw and ice cream truck so stopped for an ice cream.
It was good but after eating a bit of it, the roof of my mouth felt like it was coated with a thick layer of lard or something.
It was kind of gross so I dumped the ice cream.
We put the bikes back then headed back to our room for a bit and hung out.
Then it was time for some supper.
We were feeling like a burger and decided to go back to Happy Burger - we ate there last time we were in Toronto but it was so good we knew we wouldn't be disappointed.
It was a different location than the one we were at before and it was in the same direction as where we'd walked earlier today to hop on the subway but further so we decided to rent bikes to get there.
I got an ebike and it was AWESOME - I loved it.
Love the decor.
It's simple and clean.
I like it.
We each got a burger - I got a double with just the regular toppings, tomato, onion, lettuce, pickle, mustard and Ketchup.
Jason got their onion one which was also great.
We decided to go to a movie tonight, found a theater nearby and got there just in time.
We saw Thunderbolts and we both really enjoyed it.
It was quite entertaining.
The theater was inside a mall and it had these floral fashion displays - they have similar ones in the West Edmonton mall but these ones felt like they were a level above - more sophisticated.
I mean isn't that gorgeous?
The little woodland creatures added such whimsy.
Another one - Nice but the first one was my favorite.
From there we walked back to our room and called it a night.
I was pretty tuckered out and this is why.
Over 37000 steps today, not too shabby.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
