I live in the middle of Toronto, and it like any other city, can get hectic and frustrating. The traffic and population is expanding at a rate faster than the city can widen or agree to widen roads. And our current administration has just recently scrapped a transit plan that was going to be perfect for the city. I do love the fact that one night I can eat the most amazing Pho, and then the next, travel to little India for the best Masala in the city!

We have a cottage quite a bit north of Toronto. It's quiet, wooded, has a wood burning fireplace and lots of hiking trails. We try to get there as often as possible. The city definitely takes its toll. On the bright side, I only have 26 more years until I can retire!
