We would highly recommend a trip up here especially with your dollar being stronger than ours.<br /><br />Toronto is a cool city and has lots to offer. The Toronto Science Centre is huge and would take a full day to go through. High Park is a wonderful place to stroll around, Toronto Island, downtown of course and Kensington Market area which is just west of the downtwon section. As for sports, we would say don't miss a Blue Jays baseball game. I'm afraid we don't eat out much so we can't really recommend any good places to eat but I know there are lots of them out there. Poutine is Canadian not to miss eat, it is french fries with gravy and cheese curds. There are even some gourmet varieties of this too. Have fun!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75297324505952298602015-07-03T07:31:48.944-04:002015-07-03T07:31:48.944-04:00I know very little about Canada so I really enjoye...I know very little about Canada so I really enjoyed this post. I would love to visit each province. I am excited to visit the Toronto area next month while we spend 3 weeks with our son and his family in Grand Island, NY. What would you recommend as spots not to be missed? Also, any recommendations for good eats?

Luckily I had copied my reply and I still had your original comment in my email so here it is with my reply.<br />Your comment<br />Happy Canada Day! I've always wanted to go to PEI and do the whole Anne of Green Gables thing. <br /><br />My reply<br />The whole Ann of Green Gables is a little bit overblown in our opinion. The house wasn't even Lucy Maud Montgomery's, it was her aunt's house and it is just a house. If you had a National Park pas then I would say go ahead and visit it but if you didn't I would say don't waste your money. Plus the crowds there are incredible. PEI is a pretty province but having been there twice (Kevin 3 times) we have no desire to return, there are prettier and more interesting provinces to visit but everyone should go there at least once. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-49550205921215926552015-07-02T10:08:47.479-04:002015-07-02T10:08:47.479-04:00Thanks George, hope you had a good day too!Thanks George, hope you had a good day too!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54572984198678638412015-07-02T10:03:18.569-04:002015-07-02T10:03:18.569-04:00Chris, I am so glad that you and Juan both made it...Chris, I am so glad that you and Juan both made it up to Canada last year.
