This is my favorite! Check out the three items I circled. I love how it's a Natural Health Product, there's a parental warning, and the Recommended use and dose like it's a drug! |

Here's the first stores we ran into in China Town. I loved how everything was in Chinese, then I noticed the permanent sign that says "Everything must go!". The never ending clearance, I love it! |
|
|
|
These are all the different spices and mushrooms that were out in front of the markets in Chinatown |
|
|
|
These are dried quids. Yes, ENTIRE squids!! |
|
|
|
These 5 ladies were so funny, they we in a picking frenzy trying to find the absolute best Lichi Nuts. |

This guy was on the corner playing his Sanxian (3-stringed banjo). I just had to give him a looney for the entertainment. |

|
I had to get this pic of a boar head, how often to you come across that! |
|
|
|
Here are some whole chickens in the deli with the boar head. I don't know what it's covered in, but it wasn't very appetising to me |
|
|
|
Not sure about this cow or why it was in China Town, but it was just interesting enough to take a pic of it. |

This is a crowd of people standing in front of the Ashok store. This store has 2 big plasma screens in the front window and they were showing the 2006 World Cup soccor game. Nobody could move from their spots, they were so mesmerized. |

Here's the church of Redeemer. I love the way it's totally out of place amongst the giant buildings in the heart of Toronto |
|
|
|
I just liked the name of this cloting store. One slip and you're in big trouble! |
|

|
This was our first taste of downtown Toronto. The "Friendly Stanger" Cannabis Culture Shop. The had everything from bongs to clothes made from hemp, gotta love it! |

Here's a tennis court on the Island of Toronto with someone's art work on the cages |
|
|
|
This is the first of three houses behind the tennis courst |
|
|
|
|
this is the middle one |
|
|
|
..and this is the third and far right house |
|
|
|
This house was just too colorful to pass up |
|
|
|
Check out the head in the lower right window. I don't think I want to be their neighbor. |
|
|
|
This house reminded me of a mini Frank Lloyd Wright house. Some of the locals don't like it because it's not the traditional looking house like the others, but to each his own. |

Every Island needs a toilet flower pot, right? |
|
|
|
this is one of the many kitties roaming around the island. Funny, but we didn't see any mice there, hmmmm. He's actually yawning, not getting ready to cough up a fur ball. |

Here's Uncle Jim tring to take a picture of one of the cats, but the cat will have nothing to do with him. |
|
|
|
Here's a pic of the Needle in down town Toronto from just at the base of it |

This is a look at the needle from the docks at the Toronto Islands |

These are the two cat mummies they had displayed |

This was a full mummy they were showing off |

This is the front of the Steam Whistle Brewery. It used to be an old railroad roundhouse |
|
|
|
|
This is the plaque they have showing all the different phases they go through to brew their beer |
|
|
|
Here's the bottling facility |
|
|
|
That's me pulling the actual steam whistle they have in the brewery. It still works! |
|
|
|
Here's John Wayne....I mean Uncle Jim moseying around the front of the brewery. Sweet hat he got from Steam Whistle. |
|

|
Here's Aunt Suzy and Uncle Jim enjoying a ride on the subway |
|
|
|
|
This is a store that's similar to a super Wal-Mart. I just loved the way the have to say it's a real Canadian Superstore. Just so people can distinguish them from all of the fake Canadian Superstores. |
