CN Tower
View through the glass floor
A Day in Toronto

After checking the weather forecast for a good day, Lynn & I headed to Toronto on Tuesday. Mind you the weather is SOOO mild at the moment, just about any day is a good day. It's almost Spring like here.
Anyway it was a great day to go, with a mild 5 degrees and sunshine. The MUST visit in Toronto is of course the CN tower, which for many years was the world's tallest, but no longer. Being such a clear day we had a great view out over Toronto and I even managed to coax Lynn to walk a few steps onto the glass floor- it is a long way down

 Then it was off to explore a little of the city. We wandered through Chinatown and through to Kensington, a very quirky area with very colourful old houses and a bohemian, market style atmosphere.
 Had a great Chinese vegetarian lunch in Kensington, before heading off to catch a few of the streetcars and head to the St Lawrence market, and Lynn loves a market! I must admit that the food there looked to be great quality. Then it was back on the subway to collect the car and the long journey home in peak hour traffic. Thanks Lynn for yet another great day.

Probably the only Mountie or Moose I will see.
