A Beach, Babu, Sparkly Fabric and More

Toby did not come with me to San Miguel de Allende this fall.  He has lots to do on the farm. But we took a 3 day trip, to enjoy time together and get me to the airport in Toronto. Yay!

The highlights of our little adventure?  

The beach in Cobourg was the first.  It was a warm sunny day.  We walked the beach, did yoga, and even put our feet in the water.  So nice!  Especially since it was mid October!

Babu was the next for sure.  A sri Lankan food take out place in a strip mall in Markham.  Toby was so excited to be there!  We ordered two "lamprais", rice and 6 different curries wrapped in a banana leaf.  And a selection of short eats too. I so like this word for snack type foods! 

After eating our Babu take out in a park, we drove to Rouge National Park for a walk.  It kind of blew my mind that there's so much green space so close to such a big city.

The next day, we visited the Centennial Park Conservatory, a lovely greenhouse and park, ate Indian take out and napped in a park, then drove to Jagjit, a really big Indian fabric store in Bramptom.  So much fun!!!  So many people!  So many sparkles!  I got 6 pieces of lightweight cotton to make skirts. I'd been looking for a new indian cotton skirt for a while. Yay! 

About 1 block from Jagjit, Toby turned the car kinda quick, RRRRRR.....movie style, into a strip mall parking lot.  What?! Why?!  Another Sri Lankan take out food place!  Even better than Babu in my opinion.  Turns out, Brampton is "Little India" and "Little Sri Lanka". 

Thank you Toby, for such a lovely send off xxx
