Day 60: Rest in Toronto

Today was a bit of a bizarre day.  To be home without access to your home puts you in a weird place somewhere between local and tourist.

Vanessa and I subletted our apartment for the duration of the trip and until recently we assumed we would be couch surfing in Toronto.  Luckily for us, Tridel stepped in and has generously given us an extremely comfortable "DelSuite" to spend the next three nights.  Our temporary home is a fully furnished and equipped condo on the 15th floor of The James Cooper Mansion.  My only complaint is that this gorgeous suite might raise our living standards to an unsustainable level upon our return from this trip.  So thank you again to Delsuites.

Mostly today was spent preparing for the month to come.  Vanessa and I split up to pick up supplies and run small errands like haircuts and groceries.  We wrapped up the day with a lovely dinner at my sister's place with my parents and some close relatives.

Tomorrow is a big day for us.  First thing in the morning we're heading to the Toronto Western Hospital to meet with a class, media and participate in a few events.  Following that we're heading to the Toronto Rehab Institute for 2:00pm for the "Ride for Rehab" rally, at the address below:

Location: Toronto Rehab Institute Track

347 Rumsey Road

 

A number of presentations are going to be made including some big announcements by The Cardiac Health Foundation of Canada's president Leo Delzotto, among others.  All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
