The next step in showing off Ontario, was a stop in Toronto.
We found a comfortable BnB, Downtown Home Inn,
right in the heart of the city.
We were able to walk to a charming Italian restaurant,
Famelia for a fabulous dinner.
After a good night's sleep, we headed into town to visit
It is very impressive from below.....
...and the views from the top are spectacular!
There is a glass floor that allows you to look all the way down....David was more brave than me and stood on it for a moment, as my heart leapt out of my chest!
Even taking the elevator down was quite fun (and fast)
Check out the video!
One of the things that I miss most about not living in Toronto
anymore, is the St Lawrence Market
anymore, is the St Lawrence Market
I used to shop there every week, so took advantage of being there to stock up on my favourite cheeses!
Our last stop before heading home, was a visit to
It is an area of 47 buildings that used to be
the Gooderham & Worts Distillery.

It is now full of shops, galleries and restaurants
We stopped for a bite of lunch at
The beer was delicious....
....and so was the smoked meat poutine!
My eye caught artwork that reminded me
of all the locks on the Pont Neuf in Paris
......and LOVE was all around....
It was a fabulous couple of days.
Time to head home to start exploring the '1,000 islands' region!
