The sights of Toronto

Toronto is exactly what I always thought a city would be. Dirty streets, massive skyscrapers, landmarks, terrible driving conditions, nice public transit system. We took a walk around the city on Friday.


This building was incredible looking. Like it was about to tip over in a hundred different directions.


We were all held at an intersection for over 5 minutes by cops to allow an ambulance to pass by. People would try to sneak by the cops because of their various emergencies, and the cops would usually just let them sneak by. We knew there was the potential for a riot, because the crowds were getting restless and no one could figure out why we were all stopped. The ambulance was a bit of a letdown, we were all prepared for something like a presidential procession to come through. Maybe it was the president in the ambulance.


We had one of those fancy Tea meals.



This is what it looked like walking around in downtown Toronto. That space needle-looking structure is the CN Tower. It's on the tall side.


We walked through some kind of cool sky bridge.


The woodpeckers up there are enormous. Here's one pecking a hole in a large steel pole.
