Day 2 and a weeeee scare



Carbon testing is being carried out to see which is older

Day two and a bit of a scare over breakfast. We found this great little 50's diner in Dundas Square and it is totally original (will try to get a pic tomorrow if we go back) complete with hat and coat racks at every booth and an original 50's espresso machine (which I am sure hasn't had a lot of use). Of course we had to go thought the "how do you want your eggs ? over easy ? sunny side up? etc etc etc and while we were doing that I was checking the calendar to see what would be a good day to do Niagara Falls.

Horror, horror according to the dates we were due to leave tomorrow, so that meant only today in Toronto and no time to do the falls. Crisis meeting back at the hotel with booking slips only to find I had made a weeeee error on the calender and all is well, off to Niagara tomorrow. Did I say I made a mistake? that must be an error too.

Today we just walked the city and did the sights. Westend market for the Mexican which is apparently to die for - closed on Monday, so ended up with so so Chilean food. Off to Fort York, the original fort built by the English in 1700's - might as well have been closed, lots of people packing up from a function last night and all the buildings locked up. How about the Art Gallery ? closed, oh yea it's MONDAY.

So, a casual walk back to our hotel, haircut and afternoon nap before heading out again for dinner. Oh did I mention that our hotel is next door to the Filmore ? Canada's largest gentleman's club, Lap dancing a speciality,  but I haven't seen a gentlemen going in yet. LOL LOL LOL

Tomorrow Niagara Falls
