Thanksgiving Day In Toronto

CN Tower dwarfed by skyscrapers

Thanksgiving day here in Toronto starts very quietly, only the squirrels seem to be up and about. We walk up to the main street and catch the 501 tram into town. This is an experience for Dave and I, there seems to be the whole of life getting on and off the tram; young people, old people, families, young mums with prams, down and outs, those with and without money. Once off the tram we head towards the CN Tower as this the one land mark we know something about, it appears in front of us before playing hide and seek behind the many sky scrapers. Once there we decide to book for a meal in the restaurant tomorrow evening, a remarkably easy process, the rest of the days our own, what to do now?

Jan heads off towards the Harbourside Dave in hot pursuit, its really lovely walking along the marinas and after meandering we arrive at St Lawrence's Market one of Toronto's City Halls. Today everything is shut, thank goodness says Dave. Our walking tour now takes us up Church Street, we can see why it's called Church street with so many churchs on it. We end up in Dundas Square, Toronto's equivalent to Times Square and with so much great shopping - sorry Dave! I can't say how many shops we went through but it was a lot, even Jan's had enough now so we take the tram back to Craven Cove for a romantic meal in. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
