ontario: The CN Tower - My Farewell to Toronto - From That Chilliwack Girl! - 10/16/09 12:06 AM
Seems like every city has a tower.......a marker - a source of pride ~ well it was the final stop on my Journey to Toronto - and a fitting way to end the day......I so wanted to catch the sunset a top of CN Tower...
What I didn't realize was the 4 hrs of waiting time it would take to get up and down it!  For those of yOu that know me - I'm probably not the most patient person in the world...........And after spending the last 6 hour walking at the Canadian Exhibition - then walking another hour to the … (25 comments)

ontario: The Romance of Niagara on the Lake - (My Toronto Trip Part IX) - 09/11/09 12:35 AM
I've long been a devotee of Trisha Romance and her paintings -  I fell in love with the scenes she depicted in her paintings  and knew I wanted to see Niagara on the Lake on day.  Well another dream come true - Bucket List - big CHECK!


                                                                    
 So after we left Niagara Falls - we travelled a long and winding road through passing by some fabulous wineries...
We popped by Peller Estates and perused their gift store ......Sylvie gifted me with a lovely bottle of Meritage that I'm looking forward to enjoying this weekend :-)
 
And finally we … (16 comments)

ontario: Getting Close Up and Personal on the Maid of the Mist - Niagara Falls - My Toronto Trip Part VIII - 09/09/09 01:56 PM
Ever been awed by some Amazing Waterfalls - ever had a chance ride right through them? Well let me tell you....The Maid of the Mist was our Ticket to an incredible Ride!
 

JUST IN case :-)
  
The journey begins at the bottom of the Observation Tower, where you're provided with a bright blue souvenir rain poncho.......which you want to put on - but there is no guarantee it'll keep you dry!  I can attest to that :-) And slowly you start cruising by the Rainbow Bridge......

A powerful diesel-engined boat takes you from the Canadian docks past the … (19 comments)

ontario: Niagara Falls- Canada's Horseshoe Falls ~Wonder of Wonders ~ (My Toronto Trip Part VI) - 09/08/09 06:03 PM
I last saw this beauty of beauties when I was 17 - frozen and icicled and breathtaking - this time I got to see it with my Daughter Rachel - who is 17 - with Sylvie Conde once more acting as our guide........Truly a wonder of wonders! Come see Niagara Falls on the Canadian side!
  
Niagara Falls can only be described as exhilarating. From the top of Skylon Tower (775 feet up) to the base of Horseshoe Falls (188 feet down), Niagara Falls is awe-inspiring.(They're the 2nd longest in the world)  
 
The views are amazing! 
 
Straddling the international border between … (13 comments)

ontario: From small town Coldwater to Victorian B & B in High Park ( My Toronto Trip Part III) - 09/08/09 01:28 PM
After spending 5 days at the cottage on the Lake at my cousin's - I was off to small town Coldwater to catch the coach to big town Toronto!  While waiting for the bus I had a few hours to check out this quaint little village.

The Coldwater Mill - This Landmark Grist Mill was constructed in 1833-34 for the Ojibwa natives who had been settled on 3969 hectares (9800 acres) between the Coldwater River and the Narrows at Orillia on the western side of Lake Couchiching.

ontario: Indian Grove B & B ~ High Park, Toronto (My Toronto Trip Part IV) - 09/08/09 11:10 AM
After a leisurely 2 hour ride to Toronto - Sylvie Conde met me at the station - after a year of chatting on A/R we finally met! Sylvie had scouted out a cool B & B for me to stay in ~ Indian Grove B & B that wouldn't be too far from Rachel's new place in Little Italy.....

I've always had a soft spot for Victorian Homes - and Antiques - and this place had it all! Right next door to Toronto's famous 'High Park'.........and only a 15 minute streetcar/subway ride to the heart of Toronto.
 
 This West End Toronto Boutique … (10 comments)

ontario: Muskoka, Severn and Georgian Bay, Ontario - a Visit with my Cousin ( My Toronto Visit Part II) - 09/07/09 12:08 PM
Well finally THAT day had come and Rachel and I were off to Toronto to get her settled into University of Toronto.  Two weeks ago we set off - and were picked up at the airport after a late night arrival - by my cousin Lucky and his girlfriend Heida - and hightailed it off to just north of Coldwater in the Muskoka region.  We breezed through Toronto in the middle of the night  and 90 minutes later ended up at his lovely Cottage on the Lake. 
My knowledge of Muskoka was limited....I'd heard of Muskoka chairs (look remarkably like Adirondacks to me … (19 comments)
