Toronto

I've been in Toronto for the last day and a half, and it reminds me why I was so happy when I lived here. The city is one of the most cosmopolitan on earth, and with the economy roaring along, there is a terrific feeling of optimism here. I spent a solid 4 hours walking around yesterday, and though is was a little chilly, the sky was blue and spring is definitely arriving.
The CN Tower above, used to be the tallest free standing structure in the world. That baton has been passed a number of times since it was built, but it retains its dominance over the skyline. You can go up the tower and look out from the observation deck at the city spread out beneath you. There is also a glass floor, which if you can hack it, (I can't) you can walk over the chasm below. Kids have no problem with it and dance and jump up and down.......a tenative foot is all I could manage....heart pounding.......

As luck would have it, there was a Blue Jays game on, and it being early in the season, I was able to pitch up midway through the 4 th inning, and for $12, I was in.


When you're at the game, there's only one thing to eat...........

....and there are ample examples of what happens if you eat too many of them.........

From the skyDome and CN Tower, its a short walk north to Queen Street West, a street that fancies itself as "uber hip", and is home to various wildlife

That's it for now....I'm off to Mexico..........
