Niagara Falls Road Trip - Day 4: Toronto

Today Jessica and I decided to get out of tourist land and head up to Toronto. We've found that one can only see water go over rocks for a set number of hours before it becomes a bit boring.

Before going up to T-Town, I did some Wikipedia reading on the city and found out some interesting facts. First, Toronto is truly an international city. Of it's 2.5 million residents within the municipality, only 51% are native born Torontonians (That's the official term for a Toronto resident.). Secondly, the city is home to the second largest free standing structure in the world, the CN tower. And Finally, the city acts as Canada's financial capital, with banks such as TD Ameritrade, HSBC and Citi all having large office buildings there.

So, for our day trip to the city today we went up in the CN tower and watched a Blue Jays game. Both were fun, but only one was an expensive line-ridden tourist trap. I bet you can guess which one. Even with all the lines and expensive tickets, the CN tour was worth it. I would say it was even better the going up to the top of the Empire State Building. The day was probably our best yet, and the Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves.
