Graffiti City
Toronto takes the crown when it comes to graffiti in North America. Bogota and Toronto should battle it out for the title of this hemisphere.
The Greatest Canadian City: Toronto
Canada keeps getting better and better! First Montreal represented, then Ottawa one-upped them, and now Toronto brings it!! Cool people, cool architecture, amazing graffiti (more on that later), plus really good corned beef sandwiches! By far the best city of our northern neighbor thus far.
Great Canadian Bungee
Not one to turn down the highest bungee jump I HAD to have a go at The Great Canadian Bungee. It’s located over an abandoned quarry. Luckily for me the old mining operation left part of a crane high above the edge of a cliff. The rubber band drops you past 200 feet of limestone into a aqua blue lagoon. Since they refused to let me take my camera with me (even thought I have on all other jumps) I opted to go for the water dunk. A great way to cool off and get the hurt pumping. So alive!
Ottawaopia
I was told that Montreal had some impressive architecture. I didn’t see much during my time there. Ottawa on the other hand does have quite a few interesting buildings. Plus they were hosting a BBQ cook-off! Ottawa 1, Montreal 0.
Parliament Funkadelic
Met up with a CouchSurfer in Ottawa today to share some poutine. After lining my gut with this mess of a stomach-bomb, I ventured out on my bike across the city to check out the Parliament building. I managed to talk my way into getting exclusive access WITH photo permissions to document their law library. Normally photos aren’t allowed, but it must have been the poutine on my breath that convinced them I wasn’t a threat to national security. Below is a panorama from the second floor of the library.
