Toronto scenes




We arrived in the largest city in Canada, the 5th most populous in North America according to Wikipedia. More from Wiki:
Toronto's population is cosmopolitan and international,[11] reflecting its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada.[12] Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, as about 49% of the population were born outside of Canada.[11][12][13] Because of the city's low crime rates, clean environment, high standard of living, and friendlier attitudes to diversity, Toronto is consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit[14] and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.[15] In addition, Toronto was ranked as the most expensive Canadian city in which to live in 2006[update].[16] Residents of Toronto are called Torontonians.

Sitting in the sun at a chic and pricey cafe in trendy Yorkville, we had fun people and dog watching.

  2. Judy,
    We were asked lots more questions than usual at the border. No wonder the tourism economy is hurting here...where, why, how, with whom, how long...
