We drove from Buffalo, NY and spent the day sight-seeing Toronto, Canada. It only took a bit more than an hour to drive. It was a cold day, but sunny and a nice day for walking the city! ~ We enjoyed our time in Toronto. It was very urban and full of young professionals.
We popped into the indoor mall downtown and were amazed to see all the shoppers bustling about spending money! It looked like the Christmas season! We were shocked to discover that there is a double sales tax that amounts to 15%! yikes! There doesn't seem to be a recession going on here! We ended our day eating in China Town at a great restaurant called "Lee Garden". Yummm!
The next morning, we packed up and headed across New York and stayed just south of Albany a few miles from the infamous Woodstock. So, we just had to drive by and see what there was to see! . . . Apparently, not much! They purposely don't have any signs announcing the town and you wouldn't even know you drove by! We did finally find the town hall and got a picture of that. Our camp ground was nestled in the most beautiful trees! We took a hike on the trail and around the pretty pond!
The sky line of Toronto with the CN Tower
Here we are entering the CN Tower -
the tallest building in the WORLD!
CN stands for "Canadian National"
Nick and I posing with lots of Canadian
flags behind us . . . eh!
We were able to see the whole city of Toronto!
Vasili overlooking Toronto from the
CN Tower Sky Pod!
We have left the corn fields behind
and have been enjoying the Fall follage
and country side driving through New York!
Okay, so I love Fall leaves! ~ What can I say?
The only sign we could find with the words "Woodstock" on them!
We had to chuckle when we
saw this sign leaving the camp grounds!
They have a new movie about Woodstock out at the theaters.Don went to Toronto when he was with Staples and went up that building. He said it was quite a site to see!
