Toronto was my first city in Canada. I almost thought I wouldn't get to go because I had troubles at the border. Yes troubles at the Canadian border! They made the whole bus wait on me while they asked me some questions, did a background check and (to my surprise i found out only late when i arrived) they called my couchsurfer to make sure I was telling the truth. I keep blaming it on the blue hair. So in Toronto My couchsurfer gave me a bike with a flat tire and some other problems, i fixed it up and went around the city by bike. I spent a lot of time exploring on my own. Some of my highlights were seeing a jazz concert in a building downtown with glass windows so i could see the city and car lights and the rain, while i myself was warm and entertained inside. I saw my first glimpse at canadian art and i found some coops! yes the coops were probably the best part. I went to two although there are over 20 houses in Toronto. I went to a potluck at one and that was just a lovely night. I also went to a talk given by one of the founders of Food Not Bombs. It was a great talk and they had so much food!
oh they are so punny here
the kensington market (like the haight and ashbury of toronto)
an art museum downtown, the architecture is so cool. they actually cut out a chunk of the old art museum and put in these cube like structures that now look like they are protruding from an old building. you cant see that part in the picture though.
Old distillery district
Still found some colors, although most of the trees have dropped their leaves here
hmmm never thought as turning a car into a planter. oh did you notice the tree coming out of the top of the car?
