Took a road trip to Niagara Falls and I had to go to Toronto.
Here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Wow, sprawl much?

That pic straight down almost made me hurl.

It's ws interesting up there. For a solid 50 miles, from Hamilton, which has about 500,000 to Toronto, which has 2.5 mil, you see mid to highrise buildings every where. The traffic was horendous. Took over two hours, on a Friday at 4:00pm, to go that distance. That's bumper to bumper, stop and go, traffic from Boston to Newburyport. And they say it is like that most days. Ridiculous!
Van, that pic...the guide up there told some kids "You can jump on it. It is safe." So as I took that pic, about 5 kids started jumping on the glass. I almost sharded. The most uncomfortable feeling I have had in my life. 1,400 feet of air and the only thing keeping me there was about 4" of glass!

Ah, the Golden Horseshoe. A plurality of Canada lives in this zone. Mississauga's skyline alone is impressive, for a suburb. With 700,000 people, it's larger than Boston:

This is also one of the most diverse cities in Canada - 11% South Asian, 10% Afro-Canadian, 7% Muslim, 45% English not a first language.

(Photos, I mean.)

(Oh, and feet, too, I guess.)

(Too and two ...)

That's the most Sim City looking real city I've ever seen.
