Canadian National Tower. . .

Also known as the CN Tower or La Tour CN. Canada has two national languages. English and French. So, everything is printed in both languages.

Today we road the subway into Toronto. This was a bit different than taking the train to Chicago basically because I didn't know what the heck I was doing or where I was going. But I am a pro now! We headed downtown. Had lunch at Hard Rock Toronto (this is becoming a tradition I think since Indy!) and then walked and walked and walked to get to the CN Tower. The Canadians bill this as the tallest building in the world.
Hmmm....I think people from Illinois may have a problem with that since we have the Sears Tower. In reality, the CN Tower is taller, but it is a TOWER not an OFFICE BUILDING!!!! The primary purpose of the CN Tower is radio signals. It is a pretty cool structure though. We went to the observation deck, the outside observation (that was neat), the glass floor (can you say vertigo???) and the sky pod, which is 33 floors above the main viewing deck!

I notice you are not the one lying on the glass floor!!! Holy...is that Nolan lying there? Kudos to him. I couldn't do it! Looks like you guys had a great time...we went bowling. Are you jealous? I'm sure you're not! Haha. Glad to have you back in the grand old U.S.A.
