Toronto: Old Town

view to the north from our apartment

We’ve arrived in Toronto and are loving city life! We’re in a fantastic Airbnb rental on the 27th floor of a tower in the Church-Wellesley area of downtown. This is one of our best rentals ever!

Our first day: walking tour of Old Town, the Entertainment District, the Financial District, and the Harbourfront.

first stop: St. Lawrence Market

 

We love these European-style markets, chock-full of fresh foods.

 

Couldn’t resist a peameal bacon sandwich, known to those of us from south of the border as Canadian bacon.

 

Toronto’s Flatiron Building

stumbled across this delightful park—Berzcy Park—behind the Flatiron Building

 

adorable dog fountain!

 

the pinnacle–the almighty bone!

 

Five bonus points if you noticed the cat on the fountain!

  1. I never knew how pretty Toronto was. Looks like you’ve had some nice weather!
    I replied to an earlier blog – let me know if you got it!
    Miss you guys, but happy for you!

    • Yes, I got it! I always reply to every comment, but sometimes it takes me awhile to get to it. Hope to see you guys soon!

  2. Love following your travels. We love the fresh markets too and have even been in the one you photographed!

    • Thanks, Nancy! I just wish we had a market like this nearby Stuart. We can never shop at the ones we find on our travels because we don’t have the time or place to cook. ;o)
