Oh, Canada
Toronto was awesome. very, very awesome. It might have just put itself into the #1 slot of "favorite cities of the world that I've been to". Although I have to stop and think about what was #1. Regardless, Toronto's pretty sweet. Niagara Falls was also quite fun to see. And the Maid of the Mist tour was definitely a good time.
One thing I loved about Toronto is that fact that it seems like there's always something going on. We got there while the "Discover Toronto" festival was going on. Although I missed the one performer I had heard of (Jully Black), so I felt bummed about that. The discover Toronto festival gave out little coupon books, which was good for a 2 for 1 admission to the CN tower. Which is an impressive building (at least I was impressed... it's hard not to be impressed by the tallest building in the world). After the CN tower, it was on to the Afrofest, which was going on right next to where I was staying. I didn't get to the Italian Festival that was going on. I also didnt' get to check out any museums (I would have liked to have gone to the Royal Ontario Museum right across from the hotel, and the Hockey Hall of Fame), and I didn't really see much of the area around the University. But the University campus looked pretty nice.
If there is a next time, I think I'm going to fly into buffalo and drive in.
