We made it to Toronto and now can take pictures again!!!! Toronto was a delightful city full of cool architecture, history and young people. It has some european/french flavor to it but I would say probably more of a British / American mixture. We went up one of the world's tallest structures, the CN tower. It was worth the climb. It is quite high and a glass floor awaits you when you reach the top. You can then look down to your feet and see all the way down to the ground. We then took a tour bus in the hopes of learning more about the city. It turned out to be like a school bus ride where we got minimal explanation and stopped avery 5 minutes to drop people off or pick them up. We ... read more

Yeasterday I was on a full day excursion to the Niagara Falls about two hours drive from Toronto. I joined a backpackers' tour which was pretty cool, lots of nice people and a fun guide called Stephanie who made sure we were kept entertained during the day. The first stop was in Niagara on the lake, a small but very charming town with lots of old buildings (old to be North America, that means 100-150 years old). Next stop was at a winery where we did some wine tasting. I didn't actually know they produced wine in Canada, but they do. They produce both red and white wine and also what they call "icewine", the reason it's called icewine is because they crush the grapes when they are frozen. The icewine was very good, very fruity, ... read more
