Toronto

My dad had some frequent flier miles to burn so we made a family trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls (see above post).

Our Toronto activities:
1) Several meals in Chinatown
2) Visited the University of Toronto
3) Walked around downtown, passing by City Hall, and visiting Eaton Centre
4) Toronto Island, located in Lake Ontario a few miles from downtown Toronto. The island is one big park with tons of trails for walking and biking. There are also beaches. There is also a small airport on the island which is used mostly by private planes and regional jets. We got great views of the Toronto city skyline both from the boat ride to the island and from the island itself.
5) CN Tower, built to broadcast radio and TV signals throughout Southern Ontario. It was the tallest building in the world until the Taipei 101 opened. We were on the observation deck which included a glass floor, where you can see the ground below you. It was unsettling to walk on the glass floor at first, but you get over it. Quite an experience. I like how the tower lights up in various, continuously changing colors at night.
