In June my assignments for the bridge took me to out of the city’s dining scene and into the world of music and relaxation. The first article, “Counterpoint Community Orchestra celebrates 40-years of resilience,” focuses on a local orchestra with a 40-year history, page 9. The second article, “Bahn Thai Spa makes Thai massage approachable,” dives into the fine art of Tha massages, page 10.
About the paper: “the bridge is a monthly community newsprint circulating in Toronto’s Downtown East area. With a commitment to local coverage, this periodical strives to source up-to-date activity and diverse interests from heritage, planning, culture, development, art, and opinions.”
![[Save fir tips] A few shots from Castelo de S. Jorge 🏰
Getting to the castle:
• There’s an elevator from the city centre that takes you to the viewing platform (Elevador Castelo on Google)
• … then the second elevator from a nearby supermarket (Elevador da Baixa)
• Then you’ll have to walk about 15min, uphill wavy roads along narrow signs, there are street signs directing you to the castle.
• The state case in the last frame is optional & leads nowhere from one of the castle walls.
Tip:
Do go into the supermarket & you like to keep snacks & bring food gifts home 🛒
