  Speaker 1: Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we get sleepy. I'm your host, Thomas. Thank you so
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: much for tuning in. Tonight, Vanessa is back on the show,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and she'll be guiding us as we wander around the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: streets of Toronto, Ontario on an autumn day. Let's take
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a moment to get comfortable in bed before we begin
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: tonight's story. Snuggle under your blankets, cocooning yourself into the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: warmth and safety of them. When you found the right spot,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: take a deep inhale through the nose. and exhale out
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: through the mouth. And again, breathing in deeply, then imagining
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: any tension in the body or mind, leaving with the exhale.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: With each exhale of breath, just visualize tension flowing down
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: through the body and out through the tips of your toes.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's okay if you sense tension or stress as you inhale,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but just use the exhale to gradually let it all go,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: bit by bit. unhurried and naturally. Continue to follow the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: calming pattern of your breathing as we wander the grid-like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: streets of Toronto, which are covered in autumn leaves. Begin
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to feel the crisp breeze and hear the sound of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: crunching underfoot. We are in no rush this evening, so
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: let the pace of your breath meander along, just like
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: our leisurely walk. And with that, I'll hand over to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Vanessa as we step into the vast country of Canada,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: where our story begins.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You stand on a quiet street taking in the yellow, orange,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and red colors on the branches around you and the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: crumpled brown leaves underfoot. Narrow brick houses line the street
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to your left and across the road, children in woolly
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: sweaters are swinging in the park. Their parents sit on
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: benches chatting and laughing as they sip on steaming mugs
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of hot cocoa and warm apple cider. You can hear
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the gentle hum of an electric streetcar and the voices
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of people talking and laughing a few blocks away. Wandering
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: down the street, you pass an older couple walking their
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: dog who nod and smile at you. Soon, you arrive
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: at Queen Street, a main road filled with life. Traffic
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: crawls by and horns honk, but this doesn't stop people
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: from enjoying a leisurely day. Bundled up groups of friends
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: huddle together on patios, enjoying the last days of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: year before winter takes their gatherings indoors. As you pass,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: you catch the scent of foods from around the world.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Al Pastor tacos, steaming bowls of pho, sizzling falafel, freshly
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: chopped sushi, and garlicky pasta. One of the best parts
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: of living in this city with people from all over
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the world is getting to taste delicious food you pass
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: by thrift shops a staple of this trendy part of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: town where stylishly dressed mannequins seem to wave at you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: from window displays stopping for a moment at the art
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: store in a one-story brick building, you admire the handmade jewelry, clothing,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: greeting cards, and even typewriters made by local artists. While
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: this area of the city isn't far from the center.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It feels almost like a small town. You warm up
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in the shop while chatting with the owner. A jewelry
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: maker from the West End comes in to drop off
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: more stock. You're the first to see some of the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: beautiful designs and gorgeous stones she's made. Stepping back out
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: into the crisp air, you cross the street and enter
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a cafe. Giant pumpkins are resting on bales of hay
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: in the back of the eatery. They bring forth memories
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of fall, of exploring pumpkin patches, picking apples at the orchard,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and trick-or-treating for Halloween when you were a child. You
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: smile at the memories and order a warm apple cider
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to go as soon as you smell the hot drink,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it whisks you back to your childhood days once more.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But when you step outside, your mind refocuses on the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: present moment. For the fall scene that greets you is
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: too beautiful for you to be thinking of other things.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Red and white streetcars scoot down the road on their
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: tracks and wires that match the red leaves on the trees.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: You walk further along the street, passing an independent bookstore
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Gazing at the display of books in the window, you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: look forward to the autumn and winter days ahead you'll
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: spend curled up inside some of your local cafes reading.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: But today, you want to take advantage of the sunny,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: mild weather and explore. continuing west, down Queen Street, you
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: pass by the Broadview Hotel. This Romanesque style building used
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to tower over the city, but now it looks at
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: home amongst the high rise apartment buildings. Its impressive architecture
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: made this a popular social club in the early 1900s.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You decide to pop inside and take the elevator up
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to the rooftop where some of the glamour of the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: 1920s still remains. Once at the top, you pass by
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: people ordering drinks and sitting in booths and on leather
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: bar stools. You find one to perch on so you
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: can get a bird's eye view of the city. Then
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you order a coffee and let the mug warm your
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: hands as you watch everything happening down below you. Old
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: blackened brick buildings meet sleek modern ones. The muted colors
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: are broken up by patches of colorful trees and green spaces.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: The breeze touches your cheeks As you take in the view.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: The people below. Who are going about their day. All
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: wrapped up in scarves. Look tiny from up here. Removed
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: from the direct noise of the street. There's a sense
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: of calm on the rooftop. You enjoy living in a
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: place with four distinct seasons. It seems as if things
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: are always changing, just like the ever-changing city itself, with
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: its new restaurants, new shops, and new faces, but always
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the same street. The sun glitters on the windows of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: nearby buildings as you finish your coffee and head back
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: down to street level. Continuing west, you cross the Dawn
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Valley Bridge next to a rattling streetcar. You marvel at
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the way some buildings in this area are so new
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and others are over 200 years old. Then you walk
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: south following the dried up river and come to a
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: hidden park with scattered families sitting on blankets and having
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: picnics the leaves are thicker on the ground here and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: they crunch underfoot as you walk birds hop from branch
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to branch serenading the picnickers with their songs exiting the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: park you walk west again, past the shops and restaurants
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: of the Canary District. Once an industrial area with only
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: one diner called the Canary, the neighborhood is now a
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: thriving residential area. Still, They keep the name to honor
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: their history in the city. The street widens into a
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: promenade lined with trees dedicated to countries that participated in
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the Pan Am Games. Their leaves, too, are changing color
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: with the seasons. White fluffy clouds float in the sky
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: as you make your way to the historic distillery district.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: While only spanning a few blocks, this part of the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: city is filled with interesting stories, art, and people. The
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: narrow cobbled lanes, brick buildings, and black metal gates welcome
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you to the area. It almost feels like a city
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: within a city, protected as a historical place. High rises
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: surround this part of town, but there are none in
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the small streets of the district. Tourists amble from shop
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: to shop, buying maple candies and locally made chocolate. Artists
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: hurry in and out, of galleries, carrying blank canvases, their
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: pants stained with paint. You can see the thin CN
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Tower in the distance to the west. Its point shoots
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: up above the rest of the skyline. It's not far,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: but it feels worlds away compared to the squat old
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: buildings of the distillery district. As you walk down the lane,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: you notice a chocolate shop and decide to step inside.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: A rich smell meets your nose when you open the
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: door and the woman behind the counter smiles and gives
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you a small wave. You're lucky enough to have come
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: on one of the days when they're making fresh chocolate
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: in the factory at the back of the shop. Joining
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: some other customers in front of a glass window, you
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: watch the liquid chocolate moving round and round in a
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: giant stainless steel mixer that is so big it almost
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: takes up the full room. Chocolatiers are pouring the liquid
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: chocolate into different trays and mixing it with flavors before
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: placing the trays in a fridge. you wander around the
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: shop looking at all the varieties of chocolate they have.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Raw chocolate, brownies, cookies, bars of every flavor from Newfoundland
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: sea salt, to Ontario ice wine. You pick out a
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: few goodies to share with friends later and then leave
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the shop and head back onto the cobbled lane following
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the road further into the district you soon find yourself
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: in a square there are more shops and restaurants here
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: and children run around playing games while their parents gaze
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: in historic windows. Walking down to the bottom of the square,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you stop in a cafe that used to be the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: fire hall. There's an old fire truck next to the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: red brick building And when you enter, a chandelier with
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: fake candles to set the mood hangs from the high ceiling.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: The mosaic floor meets a Victorian-style counter. The grand mirror
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: on the wall makes you feel like people could have
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: been grabbing coffee from here for the last hundred years
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you purchase a warm drink and a slice of pumpkin
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: pie and settle in to watch the colorful leaves blow
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: in the wind outside finding a table near the window
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: You listen to the general background noise of the cafe.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: The espresso machine blowing steam. Metal spoons clinking against ceramic mugs.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: The chatter of people enjoying a coffee break. the whoosh
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of wind every time the door opens, and the music
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: playing softly under it all. This is the perfect place
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: to spend a lazy afternoon watching the people go by.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: The district has a unique mix of tourists, artists, artisans,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and curious locals. You watch them pass with woolly scarves
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and pom-pom hats, scattering the brown and orange leaves underfoot
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: as they walk. The sweet taste of the pumpkin pie
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: is delightful and makes it feel even more like fall.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: It's got a hint of cinnamon spice to it and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: goes down smoothly with a sip of tea. You pull
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: out a glossy magazine and flip through the pages, enjoying
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: that you have nothing that needs to be done today
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: and nowhere to rush to. You can just enjoy each
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: moment as it comes. When you finish your snack and
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: feel ready to continue your walk, you button up your
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: coat and amble out into the fresh air. You cross
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the square to the opposite lane, finding yourself once again
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: in a narrow cobbled alleyway soon you pass by a
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: couple of art galleries with interesting offerings inside and continue
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: on your way exiting the distillery district You cross the
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: street to the Esplanade, a quiet little slice of green
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: in the center of the city. You see a game
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: of basketball and some teens doing skateboard tricks before coming
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: out on the other side. The street is busier now
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: as you wander to the St. Lawrence Market. The roof
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: is shaped almost like a barn, but the brick exterior
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: with arched green-paned windows makes you feel like you've yet
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: again been transported back in time and you very well
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: could have a farmer's market has been run on this
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: site since 1803 inside the bustling building brick archways welcome
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you to the lively market. Food producers from all over
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: southern Ontario are selling fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: As you wander deeper into the market, you pass stalls
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: selling artisanal chocolate, tea, and coffee. Even further in, you
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: find the antique stalls with treasures from eras past. You're
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: not here to buy anything today, just to look you
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: enjoy browsing the furniture sculptures and trinkets people have found
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: scrounged and saved in this city since people have come
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: here from all over the world The antiques hail from
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: many different places, brought by grandparents and great-grandparents alike. In
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: many cases, they traveled far to get to this country,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: and now their descendants get to share that. their cultures
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: with a new generation of Canadians. You listen to vendors
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: and visitors haggling over prices and admiring different goods. The
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: chatter echoes around. the hall from the food stalls to
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the artisanal stalls to the antique market making the space
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: feel alive and animated and Spending a bit more time
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: wandering through, you see someone buy a whole fish and
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: another person ask for a vat of oil. Fruit and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: vegetable vendors start to pack up as their stocks run
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: low for the day. and you take it as a
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: sign to move on. After all, there's still so much
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: more to explore in the city. Walking down busy Front Street,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: you watch families popping in and out of stores. Businessmen
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: walking by with laptop bags slung over their shoulders and
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: couples meandering slowly, taking in their surroundings. In a few blocks,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: you find yourself in front of one of the most
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: uniquely shaped buildings in the city. Wedged into the parcel
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: of land between Front Street and Wellington Street, the Gooderham
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: building was erected as an office for a nearby distillery.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Its interesting wedge or triangular shape makes the building look
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: small and narrow at first. But as you walk past,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: the building widens to match the available space. The mint
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: green pointed roof is framed by skyscrapers in the financial
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: district just behind. You spend a few moments admiring the
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: building as you pass, taking in the red brick and
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the artistic details of the design. Then you walk on
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: past the Hockey Hall of Fame, celebrating one of Canada's
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: favorite pastimes before turning left toward Lake Ontario. One of
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the best things about the city is its location on
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: one of the Great Lakes. When Torontonians want to get
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: away from the busy city for an afternoon, they head
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: to Toronto Island. You decide to follow their lead and
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: head to the ferry terminal to wait for the boat
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: to arrive. In the summer, this space is filled with
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: families hoping to visit the small amusement park on the island.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: But today, only a few others are waiting with you,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: looking for an escape. Or perhaps they're some of the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: few island residents. A small ferry approaches and a smiling
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: crowd disembarks before you're allowed to board. You find a
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: seat outside so you can watch the city float away
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: as you drift toward the island, which is just a
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: 10-minute boat ride from the center of Toronto. The view
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't disappoint. The tall CN Tower and white bulb of
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the sky dome where baseball games are played take center
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: stage behind the buildings modern skyscrapers housing condos and offices
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: make up the familiar skyline a cool breeze blows around
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: you as the ferry picks up speed and you pull
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: up your scarf, getting nice and cozy. Water laps against
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: the side of the boat, rocking you gently back and forth.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: You arrive at Toronto Island with a gentle bump and
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: watch as a rope is thrown to anchor the ferry
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: to land. You disembark with the other passengers and wander
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: down the car-free island road. The island was once a peninsula,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: but the strip of land connecting it to the mainland
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: was destroyed by a storm in the 1850s. You follow
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: the road past a lagoon with houseboats and a bridge
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: leading to to one of the residential areas here. Very
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: few people are lucky enough to live in this beautiful place,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: which is covered with trees. It feels as though you've
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: traveled deep into the countryside, though you're only minutes away
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: from a bustling city with no cars to brush them
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: out of the way the fallen leaves line the wide
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: path you're heading down it's incredibly satisfying to hear them
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: crunch underfoot with every step you take Each time you
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: pass an opening in the trees to your right, you
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: get a glimpse of the Toronto skyline. And when the
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: landscape opens on your left, you can see out into
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: the open water and watch the waves rising up. and
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: down people cruise past you on bikes laughing with friends
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: and you watch one family hosting a picnic on the
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: grass next to the road you pass the Gibraltar Point
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Lighthouse A small white beacon that's one of the oldest.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: lighthouses in North America. And take a moment to walk
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: its circumference. Soon, you find yourself at a small pond
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: with a bench where you take a rest, breathing in
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: the fresh air. Wandering a bit further down the main road,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: you cut out on a narrow trail through the trees
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: and shrubs, walking over a thick pile of leaves It's
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: that delightful time of year when the ground is coated
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: in leaves, but there are still some beautiful colors painting
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: the trees. Before long, you come to one of the
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: island's beaches. This one is quiet. and has a view
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: of the city in the distance. It's getting close to
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: sunset and you settle in for the show. You lay
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: a wool blanket on the beach to sit on and
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: pull another out of your bag to drape over your
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: shoulders for warmth it already feels cooler as the sun
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: sinks lower than the tip of the CN tower and
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: the sky begins to shift from yellow to a pinkish
• 41:42
