We got to sleep in a little bit, which was much needed and then we headed out to take in the rest of Toronto, and parts that we had missed.
We got off at the same station as yesterday, and then headed on foot. We walked towards Dundas Square (baby Times Square) where a huge Uncle Ben's promotion was going on. We considered getting a free meal of rice there, but then decided that it would be best for us to continue on our way.
We kept walking, strolling, trudging...whatever you would like to call it. We walked past the Old Bay Building again, and headed towards the CN Tower.
Though it was fairly expensive-- $30..we headed up to the SkyPod of the CN Tower. We stopped off at the gallery and looked down through the glass floor and got an incredible sense of just how large the City of Toronto really is. The photos from the SkyPod will probably be better than me trying to explain, so make sure you check out all of my Cross-Canada Road Trip photos HERE!
Not high up in the air, and back on ground we headed back on foot to see the rest of Toronto that we had missed, or wanted to see and hadn't. We got some street meat (smokies) and then took off to see such things as: Much Music, CBC and Kensington Market (where that crazy plant car is.--It will make sense if you see the pics). We continued through the heart of China Town and then stopped at Marble Slap (second day in a row) for some "energy food".
Toronto was busy, and it had a definite city vibe. There are business people and modern people and hip people EVERYWHERE and it is easy to tell it is a thriving city. Toronto reminds me of Calgary (except for the large lake right by downtown--which Toronto has) and I enjoyed it very much!
Late afternoon-ish we met up with an old friend of Alexander's at Union Station and then headed to second cup to catch up and get some coffee. I have never met this friend of Alexander's and she has a very, very bubbly personality and it is very contagious. We caught up on what she is upto and she caught up on our news and when that was all said and done we headed back to Union Station, to head back to Auntie Anne and Benny's house.
Alexander headed off to the Jung Ko Kendo Club where Cruise Sensei was teaching Iaido, and I stayed back and ate dinner with Auntie Anne, Benny and David (we had spaghetti) and then I got some ME time!
I did some blogging, and E-mailing and caught up on Gossip Girl and Teen Mom (yaya!) and then finished doing laundry and packing it back into our bags.
After Alexander finished his training he headed out with the guys for some Korean food and I headed to bed...
Goodnight from Toronto...!
