Hello - Sorry it's been a little while! We are currently in Middlebury, Vermont - visiting Wren's baby sister Emma. Well, she's not a baby - she is graduating from college! Go Emma!So, I'll catch you up on Toronto with a short "Why Canada is Best" list. Please note that the list will match up to the pictures starting from top left and going around clockwise.
#1: Apparently they have big burly public transit buses that Wren couldn't stop talking about. For all of you truck lovers - Maybe Toronto is the place for you!
#2: Bowser looks really good in Toronto. Duh.
#3: St. Lawrence Market. Wren had been to this indoor market before on a family trip and we just happened to DRIVE up to it. We then proceeded to find a hotel nearby and walked directly to it. It is full of vendors of all different delicious food items - they sell lunch items to-go, you can get Chinese, sushi, Polish food, Italian (I had an eggplant sandwich and Wren had chicken parmesean) etc. You can also buy MEAT and cheese and OLIVES and all the fresh produce and flowers you want! Wow! I bought some Manchego cheese and snacked on it for a couple days. Best 9$ spend so far this trip! (Lisa - am I making you hungry?!) Oh yeah.
#4: Hello! ECO - FRIENDLY! Recycle, Litter and COMPOST bins! I love it - why haven't we done this yet? So smart. You can find these bins all around Toronto - and honestly, I saw them all around Canada not just Toronto!
For those of you waiting to hear about the first night sleeping in the truck - let's just keep it simple and say that the moment we woke up - we swore that we will never sleep in an urban area on a side street in a metropolis again. We realized YOU need to have a bathroom nearby where ever you sleep - peeing in an alley hoping to not get arrested isn't the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. But then again, how many of you can say that you've gotten a parking ticket while hiding in the back of your truck watching it happen? Again, hoping to not get arrested....
More later little kids....
Please disregard the clockwise directions - when you are editing this the format is different! They tricked me!
