Day 51-56 T-Dot

I didn't want to blog about each day here in Toronto but I did get to do a lot of random stuff. My aunt that lives here spoiled me with takeout the entire time. I've enjoyed a few rides around town and oddly have to say that riding the streets of Toronto feels pretty safe. I discovered you can't walk up the CN Tower anymore. Its now a charity event hosted 2 or 3 times a year. Bummer.

I picked up a new tire for the bike and put it on the back, rotating the rear one back up to the front and putting the old back one on a curb for someone to take along with my fender that doesn't fit the new back tire.

One of my other aunts and her husband were also coming to town to see Bruce Springsteen so I spent a bit of time with them as well dining and taking a bus tour around town as well as visiting Toronto island.

It turned out that Fan Expo was happening from Fri-Sun as well so I checked that out. I ended up meeting Stan Lee (creator of Spider-Man), LeVar Burton (Reading Rainbow, Startrek), and got a picture with Christopher Lloyd and the Delorian! Gillian Anderson was to be there but only Sat and Sun, she is an absolute babe but I have to get back on the road again... C'est la vie.

I also hung out with my step sister whom I haven't seen in 10 years. We checked out the busker fest which was ongoing and a bit dull. My last day there I also wen't to Niagra Falls and got right down in under it which is pretty impressive to behold.

It's been a great week off and my legs feel rested for the first time in a month but I've got to get moving again, still 3500 km or so to go before I'm done!
