Toronto (not really!!)

OK -- way behind on posting -- no excuse so here goes.  (Currently, we are in Iron Mountain, MI for a long weekend -- 58 degrees this morning and heater was running!!)

To start this blog off, notice it says Toronto (not really!!).  Well, that is because we never got into Toronto either.

We did see these signs along the highway and weren't sure what they were the first time we saw them.  They are "rest stop" signs and are those places busy.  In addition to restrooms, they have all kinds of restaurants, shops, etc.

The highway was extremely busy but traffic was moving good.  It happened to be "Civic" holiday.

Farmland along the way.

OK, now we think we see Toronto in the distance.

Nope.  When we got closer, they were all condo/apartment buildings.

We did see a commuter train.

And that is as much of Toronto that we saw.   Downtown was several miles to the south of our highway.  We didn't really have any plans to visit.

Before we got to our campground, we saw this along the road.  More later.

Found our campground.

This guy was at the entrance - a big strawberry.  Why??  I don't know!

We had a nice site.

We took a drive along the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

Canada is celebrating 150 years.

We did find the Big Apple.  Quite a place.  Huge gift shop and restaurant.

Here they are making pies.  Of course, we did buy an apple/custard pie that we ate for days later on.

You can go into the Big Apple and go to the top, but, we didn't do that.  Just sat outside with our bread and pie.

Several animated animals.

The outdoor area is huge and has alot for everyone to do.  And all for free!!

Small zoo.

 

Had some chickens, mules, and other farm animals.

After a 3-day stop here, we headed for the good ole "US of A"!!!
