I tried to go up the CN Tower in Toronto;honest, I tried it yet again. This time it was too close to dark and I want to go up it in the sunlight. Tomorrow morning. Early, after my on-the-road donut. I will go up, and I will take pics.
No strip search. Sarnia, the border town on the Canadian side, has the teensiest little train station. The train ride to Toronto was most excellent except for the long delay and sudden stop in the middle of the fields - nothing in sight, and we suddenly stopped and didn't move for a long time. Something about a "hot box."
I got to Toronto about 45 minutes late, but it did not matter. I still got here first.
So all is well, and I will go up that damn tower and will stand on the glass floor and take pictures to post tomorrow.
That is my story and I am sticking to it.
BTW, Toronto seems to have an over abundance of street people. They are sleeping on the streets, doorways, and sidewalks. I have had to step over many of them. I am not sure what this is all about.
There are a lot of beggars in Toronto. In general, Toronto is a very clean and safe city. Just watch where you walk or you will step on a drunken man who is drooling in his sleep.
Ewww.
FYI, Canadian beer is stronger than American beer. I sacrificed myself and field tested it earlier this evening.
Twice.
I am not on the street and I am not drooling.
Yet.

Suzy, I found Vancouver the same way with a lot of homeless people. Have lots of fun and good luck tomorrow. Anne
I'll be looking forward to the tower pictures - you know that, right? Vancouver is also very clean and I also saw several homeless people - maybe not as many as you are describing.

Someday I need to do an entry on my experience with AMTRAK in Florida! What a wild story! Glad you are having a good time. Too bad you made the grade and missed the strip search!
We are just now applying for our passports because in a few years Canada wil lrequire passports....the girls go to Chatham every year for a historical reenactment.
How sad that there are homeless living on the streets. Canada doesn't have shelters? It often makes me wonder what happened to those people, how they got into that position, and if they have any family.
Suzy, if the Tower makes you uncomfortable, just take pictures from the bottom of it. If you want to go, that's fine, but do it because you want to do it.
Best wishes,
Debi
