Well it’s officially 4 weeks now that we’ve been on our road trip and it feels like we are taking a small mini vacation in the middle of our bigger vacation. We spent at least half the day in the pool in Mario and Linda’s backyard, also enjoying the hot tub and faux waterfall. This afternoon we all drove into Toronto and as Nicola’s relatives took in a dinosaur show, we went around downtown, through Eaton Centre and to the CN Tower. It’s always interesting being in such big cities with so much going on, however Nicola and I have both already seen Toronto and the CN Tower so it’s nothing really new. We got a caricature sketch of the two of us by some guy on the street. It’s pretty funny because it actually does look like us, I can’t wait to put it up on the wall. I got a warm-up for Thailand style bartering, getting the guy down from $95 to $25, still kind of a rip-off but whatever. Besides that the day has pretty much been one of relaxation, tomorrow we head off to Canada’s Wonderland (Canada’s largest amusement park) to take on the biggest roller coasters we can find.
