The Toronto Tour

July 17, 2008

We started the day with a lovely breakfast out on the back deck and Jeff & Doreen's house and then we took off for a driving tour of downtown Toronto. Doreen was better than Grayline and we still got the little bits of trivia like the fact that her office at the Toronto Star is at 1 Yonge Street and that that street is the longest in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. We saw the University of Toronto and Trinity College.

After the driving tour, we headed to St. Lawrence market and did some touristy shopping. There was a tissue box holder there that hangs on the wall and looks like an island mask. The tissues come out of the statue's nose!! I laughed a lot and decided it would be PERFECT for my middle school classroom.

In the afternoon we went to visit my mom's cousin Henny and her husband John in Toronto. We had a nice afternoon hanging out in and near the pool and chatting. It was a great afternoon. Tomorrow we head back to Kalamazoo.
