Day Two and SARS Free
I am currently blogging from Toronto. Nice city but has that Great Lakes smell. My Canadian friends here like to discuss politics which has been entertaining. We took a bus tour of the city and a boat tour of the waterfront.
Per my friends, the SARS scare has decimated the local economy. A lot of the theater shows have left and new ones aren’t coming. Tourism is way down. It’s a nice place even though no one has handguns. I haven’t got to use their free healthcare yet and hope I don’t have to.
Bloggage will be intermittent, I’m on vacation.
Tonight is food and drink. Tomorrow is the CN Tower.
Update: Read in the paper that gay marriage is legal here now.

Toronto’s one of the nicest, friendliest, prettiest, greenest cities in North America. I have family in Quebec and we’d pass through on the way to visit. I used to dream of moving there, and then I’d remember all the snow. 😉

Uncle…good to see that you finally made it to Toronto inspite of all the bad press. Be sure to drink some Moosehead (the real stuff isn`t allowed to leave the country), Rickards Red, sleemans honey nut brown for beer. Check out greek town, the Movenpick Marche in BCE Place, young thailand near queen street for food and head out to Ottawa if you get a chance as well.
