"Welcome to Canada"

Hey there, my name is Chewy and I hitched a ride with these two Americans to be their guide in Canada. At the border the Immigration Office welcomed them in now I will show them the sights.

As you can see they will need my help to find Nova Scotia

First stop was Toronto and where Mr. Tom met Monty Moose who is the overseer at the CN Tower.

The CN Tower is 1,200 feet high and lightning strikes it 75 times a year. Glad we had a clear day. 

Wow! The ride to the top took 58 seconds traveling at 22 kilometers an hour. Smooth ride to an incredible view.

Lunch at the top with a 360 view of the city of Toronto. 

    From ground level the city looks just as spectacular as from above.


 Then we checked out Canada's only major league baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays. Their stadium built in 1989 has a retractable roof and a hotel built right into it. Now that's a room with a view!
Chewy helped us score some good tickets and them showed us where the local baseball fans hangout.


We enjoyed meeting these two Canadian blokes who made us feel like locals in no time.  

 The ball park itself was unimpressive but the people were great. We received the following handmade note from a stadium staff member...not sure why or how but it was pretty cute, eh?



Game over, Blue Jays lost, but we won having had a beautiful day in Toronto.
We made our way to a camp ground outside of town and in the morning headed east on the Queens Highway.
 While on the road today Chewy suggested we stop at the BIG APPLE to sample the freshly made pies.



As in usual Meadows fashion, while on the road, we ate the pie right out of tin. YUMMO!

I know I say this every time, but this is so cute and so fun!! Would you believe my phone wasn't updating your blog since your Detroit post, so I'm just now seeing your Canada posts! I assumed the internet was difficult to come by, ha. So funny about that hand-written note at the baseball game. Great post!
