Toronto in a Hurry

Looks like you can only plan so much! We were going to spend two full days in Toronto, but the drive from Glens Falls, NY put us in Niagara Falls, NY too late to see the actual falls. Determined to not miss it, we spent the night there and indulged in some Roy Rogers (a memory enhanced by childhood,) and a case of Molson. Neither were very kind to the digestive tract.

Waking up early so Ben could catch a client call, we headed over to the Falls, snapped some photos, and then went to the border to play Hide & Seek with customs agents. I guess you never get off easy when:

  1. You claim a van as your residence.
  2. You say you’re unemployed, for the sake of simplicity.
  3. You have stamps in your passport from Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

Good thing Road Trip 2.0 is 100% legit!

We rolled into Toronto around 1:00pm only to discover that our Walmart’s parking lot has a 3 hour time limit. Plans fouled, we found parking on the street, and now are trying to get our sights in quickly. Ben’s down at the Hockey Hall of Fame, I’m soaking up local nerdiness at the Linux Caffe. Tonight we’re gonna party it up all crazy like, and tomorrow we roll out early for Detroit.

I would imagine that your infamy is well known by the US border patrol types. They probably have an APB out on your van because of the stick you poked in their eye with the whole camera post! Also, WTF are the pics of Niagra falls?!

Yeah, we were talking about that on the way through! Of course, if we get harassed more, we’ll just have more to blog about.
