Had to get a pic... they're so cute! They even come up to you & wait for the photo!
Tuesday morning... walked into the city and looked around the theatre district. There's SO MANY! I can't choose what shows to go see! And the theatres are all so vintage looking and beautiful. The food here is so fresh and cheap too which is excellent.
Tuesday night... went out to the Rex Hotel again to see a young jazz band playing originals. They were BRILLIANT and played so tight as a quartet. Their music was really varied too. Made connections with most of them afterward which was good. On the walk back to the hostel IT STARTED SNOWING! Absolutely beautiful, it even warmed the air up a few degrees so it was only just below 0!
Wednesday... Went to CN Tower with 2 other Aussies who are staying at the hostel. CN Tower is the tallest... structure in the Northern Hemisphere... I think... or something like that! Anyway... went up to the viewing platform, where you can see all of Toronto & even all the way to nearly New York! It has a glass floor so you can stand on it & look down (see pics).
