Location: Toronto, Canada

We walked along the waterfront, exploring the decks of old boats and new. One was decorated with dozens of flags. Another had a shy mottled cat onboard. And one crew let us explore the lower deck of their ship. I was surprised by how low the ceiling was; even a four-foot person wouldn’t have been able to stand straight.

The final three boats were docked a long ways off from the rest. We walked across the Merchant’s Wharf, and took a short break at Sugar Beach. There was a band set up there, and a lot of concession stands too. But as always, there was something else that interested me more. It was a tiny neon dot on a nearby sign.

What exactly it was… I did not know. But it looked to me like a neon mosquito.
