Here's to a great city

I had not been to Toronto for many years until last month. I waited too long. Canada itself is one of the most beautiful places on earth with endless prairies across the plains and and the most spectacular mountain scenery in North America. It's largest city is a real treat though. No wonderful scenery to speak of but the CN Tower rising majestically above downtown is a must visit. From the top observation deck we looked down into the opened domed Rogers Center where the Blue Jays were playing. The view out across Lake Ontario was beautiful at sunset.

Toronto is full of immigrants. A sure thing necessary for a vibrant city. Cultures of all kinds and food restaurants with fresh food native to those cultures is readily at hand. Not to mention a Tim Hortons donut shop on every corner.
(Until you have gone into a Tim Hortons and got a donut and their famous coffee on a night with a meter of snow on the ground and the temp at -10c then you haven't really been to Canada. (I HAVE!)

Toronto has a fabulous city park. The Toronto Islands. Reached by a passenger ferry, it is a beautiful park. It has beaches and small carnival rides along with a beautiful landscaped park path and fountains. I wanted to visit the clothing optional beach but my wife said no. (Americans are so hung up on the clothes thing!)

If you get a chance, visit T.O. It's cool Canadian!
I will add some pics from my trip to this blog tomorrow.

Later,
