Today in Toronto was a day to pull it all together before we head over to Port Hope and up to Peterborough.
We tidied the car, switching contents of suitcases and gathering our things for Port Hope. Tomorrow night, we will have dinner with Judy and family at Swiss Chalet and NO! we have not yet eaten Swiss Chalet!
We bought our dinner from a Kosher Deli to eat at the hotel and it was terrific: chopped liver, potato salad and cole slaw!
Went to Zellers (div. of Hudson's Bay - like K-Mart) to try to find some souvenirs and granddaughter goodies. You have to put a loonie (one dollar coin) in to get a cart and you will get it back when you return the cart. It is a system like you find at an airport.
When Canada introduced the dollar coin and it had a picture of a loon (bird) on one side, Canadians took to calling it a "Loonie". When the two dollar coin was introduced, it was called a "Toonie". No paper one or two dollar bills are in circulation in Canada and the paper money is very colorful - each denomination (five and up) is a different color!
Visited our old friend, Mel and will do another blog of Mel when we have pictures.
So tomorrow, we will knock on the door and when it is opened, young William will say:
"Oh, look: It's Martha from Texas!
