Canada we love you! Chicago we havnt made up our minds yet..

From NYC we took a long over night coach to Toronto, it was painful and cold haha. We rented an apartment for two nights in the arts district of Toronto and its just lovely there. Their high street is full of antique shops and flea markets, oh and shops that sell weed, we still aren't sure if it's legal over there or not lol.

On our first day we made our way to the CN tower which was massive, it has two viewing platforms and they are high, I obviously wasn't paying attention as I have no clue how high we were! Andy was loving it, I was holding on to the sides haha. we were about to walk back to the apartment but we noticed that a baseball game was on, so we grabbed some cheap tickets so we thought they would be crap seats but we could see everything and oh yeah by the way I am a fan of baseball now! Let's go Toronto Blue Jays!!! Who Andy thought until halfway through the game they were called the blue jets haha I don't know how it was written every where and their mascot was a bloody bird Hahahaha.

The next day we caught the coach to Niagara Falls. Little bit of info for you guys. The town is called Niagara Falls, the falls are actually called something different the big one being the America falls. Niagara falls is great (well I think so anyway) its like a seaside town, arcades everywhere, big life size statues on top of buildings. We took a trip on the maid of the mist and were given the complimentary and rather dashing ponchos to stop us from getting wet, you get WET near the falls the mist comes down like rain and the waves are pretty massive!

The next day we were back on our bus to chicago, another over night journey! We were on the bus with some scary looking people but no problems, we had to wait forever at customs getting back in to the country, apparently flying in to Canada is different from travelling over land. We had a stop over at Detroit...man that place is rough!!!!! Full of gangster looking people! And outside just as we got there the police has a couple of guys on the side walk in hand cuffs.. Nice!! Two men took a liking to andy, he ha a lovely convo with a man and a rather special hand shake with another! Friend!
We got into Chicago really early in he morning and then the time difference put us another hour behind so we ended up sitting in our hotel for hours until we could check in. Now our hotel was old and apparently haunted, we stayed at the Congress Plaza and it was spooky! The place is so old and big. We didnt encounter any ghosts though, although our cupboard door shut on its on and Andy got very excited... The window was open by the way but he adamant that it wasn't the wind lol.

Next on our trip.. Route 66! Yippee
