Toronto - Part One

     On Friday I left the campground going to Toronto.  At the border, Canadian customs asked me a few questions like any gifts?, liquors?, or handguns?  I told him I had none.

     Then I rode for two hours and stopped at a small, European-style town.  I walked into a bank to exchange U.S. dollars for Canadian dollars, then had a good lunch.  Returning to the bike, I rode along to Toronto and found this is a huge city with many suburban cities alongside.  The sign by the freeway says the population of Toronto is 2.2 million.  I believe that Toronto is 10 times the size of Seattle.  All of the cars and trucks passed me, even though I was going 65 MPH.  Finally I arrived at Ajax, the next town to Toronto to visit Dympna at her home, to which she had given me easy directions.

     I was so glad I had made it through.  She showed me around her house and I was surprised it has a swimming pool!  The first thing I did was put the trailer away inside the garage, then I took out swimming trunks to swim.  She offered me Canadian beer -- Labatt Blue.  She cooked chicken dinner for three of us.  Her companion, Walter, is a nice gentleman.  We had a good chat that evening.
