The Epic (Walking) Road Trip

My turn to weigh in, it’s time for a Canadian perspective on Toronto.

I know, I know, I seem to have fallen somewhat behind my compatriot, procrastinating my post for days, but in my defense this shouldn't come as a shock to those of you who know my habits well. Perhaps it's time you got to know me a little better.

Back to the trip. First off, I’d like to point out that, as a Canadian living in Canada for nigh on 10 years, I had no idea that prostitution was legal. It took the Texan significantly less than one day to discover this.

Our first full day was a walking road trip of epic proportions that left feet sore, paler complexions burned (guess who), and a fairly decent string of photos. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

We're leaving my neighborhood and Varun is very proud of his new tiger glasses. He claims he's the only one who can pull them off. He claims a lot of things.

Skip forward several hours and we've walked all the way downtown. I think we deserve to stop in on this nice microbrewery, don't you?

They weren't licensed to serve alcohol but they could give two free "samples" to everyone that felt like walking through the door. We were so inclined.

Varun marvels at the CN Tower.
It's very tall.

I force Varun to try the Iced Cappuccino at Tim Horton's because they're just that good. I think the lady in the yellow shirt was as surprised as I was that I'd forgotten to turn off the flash.
For those of you not in "the know" downtown Toronto sits upon a network of tunnels called the "PATH"
We played "That's so not Varun", and this qualified. It's so not Varun.
It's so not Varun.

It's... well, Varun wants to keep an open mind.

The Chalkmaster raises money to retreive his recently reconciled relationship from Halifax. That's eastern Canada, and not at all close to Toronto despite being in Canada (a concept surprisingly difficult for Americans - after all Canada is all basically the same right?).

He is very funny.

The explanation.

Still funny.



Finishing our day at a variety of pubs in downtown Toronto.

So there you have it. I'd be funny and write actual explanations for the second half of the pictures, but it's 2am now and I like sleep more.
