A Toronto Day

Our first full day in Toronto included window shopping around the Distillery District, the St. Lawrence Market with its variety of eateries, food court style, where we went with Anthony Bourdain's recommendations, the CN Tower for its aerial views, Chinatown, and Kensington Market, a gritty ethnic neighborhood of stores and eateries, and ended with thundershowers which should continue through tomorrow. Toronto's multitude of distinctive neighborhoods, each with its own unique character lined with shops and eateries, along with its maze of connected under and above ground corridors, kept us going all day with probably at least 10 miles of foot work. Below are some pictures from the CN Tower.

Toronto Nights

The second picture is our apartment high rise. There is a lot more street activity around our part of downtown with all manners of shops and eateries lining the sidewalks, and people out and about late into the evening. Good location for us!

Our Apartment in Toronto

From Niagara Falls, we rented a car, one way, and took our time driving to Toronto by way of the scenic route which traveled, at times, along Lake Ontario and through home lined streets, neighborhoods, city centers and marinas. Great way to get a quick feel for the region. There is actually a designated bike route from Niagara Falls to Toronto known as the Waterfront Trail. Here's pictures of our Toronto apartment on the 17th floor near the intersection of Bay and College Streets.

Downtown Niagara Falls

This is where the tourist of Niagara Falls hang out. You ever feel as if someone is watching you!!

Our Day at Niagara

After a night of rain, heavy at times, our second day at Niagara Falls started off iffy with spits of rain, but eventually the sunshine broke through, turning it into a gloriously warm but humid day. Kay and I are quite ready for some fun in the sun and to ware our shorts and tees. Hope it continues into Toronto.
