Yesterday afternoon we rode bikes way across town and to the very end of the Leslie Street Spit/Tommy Thompson Park. I 'effed my knee up in the trek but it was worth it. Hard to believe I have lived in this city for so long but have never gone out on the spit but then again we so rarely explore the east end. We saw thousands of birds including cormorants, gulls, swallows, terns, American Goldfinch, and sandpipers to name a few. It was pretty awesome and could very well replace the island as my favourite place to explore.
