As I mentioned earlier this week, I am actually on a two-week holiday in Simcoe County, Ontario, just 90 minutes north of Toronto. We went to the Elmvale Jungle Zoo, an amazing place that has a huge variety of animals. It is really a remarkable zoo which I recommend highly.
Just near the end of our trip, I spied the best sighting there: Black Swans, right here in Canada. Honestly, I found them stunning creatures to see up close – they seemed a bit unreal. I can only imagine what it was like for the Europeans who first saw them in Australia. No wonder Taleb was so impressed.
I wonder if this is an omen of some sort.
