Toronto


Toronto is the largest city in Canada with a population of 2.7 million. It's seems to me to be a city made up of neighborhoods. I strolled through Chinatown and then over to Kensington Market which is a street filled with funky shops and ecentric people. Like these folks making art out of an abondoned car.


I had lunch in Little Italy at a place called Cafe Diplomatica - yummy! After I scarfed down this lunch I had to lie down for awhile.


There's also this Canadian - Sir Henry Pellatt - who made some serious cash jumping on the invention of electricity founding the Toronto Electric Co. in 1883. He decided to build a huge castle, Casa Loma, on a bluff over looking Toronto. It took 3 yrs, 300 workers and $3.5 million to build. It's huge with 98 rooms and secret passages. Although they over sell you on the secret passageways because I think there are only 2. When you walk through it's packed with tourists. Unfortunately, Sir Richard only was able to live in the castle less than 10 yrs because he soon lost all his money. Silly man. What do you need a big house like that for anyway?
