Note: this was written a couple days into the trip. This starts on the second day of the trip, when Lissy and I are still in Sault Ste. Marie. Sorry for not posting sooner!
This is the route we took!
The next morning, we came to find a HUGE mouth watering breakfast in the dining room made by our cute german hostess.
This is in front of the B&B we stayed at! So cute!
Everything was so good that we stuffed our faces. We weren't hungry again until we reached Toronto. The route to Toronto was the scenic one and boy was that gorgeous! There were multiple signs showing moose crossing; however we did not see any. I was really hoping to see some because Lissy said "If we see a Moose, I will seriously shit my pants!" She was so freaked out about it that it made me laugh very hard.
Halfway through our drive, we stopped really quickly to stretch and to switch spots since I was done driving for the day. When we were talking and laughing about something, a group of people our age started walking towards us. Most of them were guys, and all of them were wearing preppy clothing. It wasn't really a happy walking toward us, it was more of a intimidating and menacing walk toward us and only one guy continued it as we hopped in the car and was driving away. These people would not have struck my interest if we would have been in an actual town or city; however, it was more a restaurant and a gas station, one on each side, there were some other people around but they were mostly on the other side or in the restaurant. Right away, their behavior stuck me as very odd, and I couldn't seem to get it out of my head when we drove away. It was at that moment that I became inspired with a story plot to write. So in the long haul, those creepy preppy almost adults helped me out.
Soon after we entered Toronto, or at least it seemed like sooner rather than later because time flew by so fast. An eight hour drive tends to feel like nothing after a ten hour drive. We decided to explore the city right away and not check into our hotel until late into the night. We found parking right next to Second City, a stand up comedy place. We walked around multiple blocks, getting lost a couple times, but in the end it was all good because in all seriousness we wanted to be lost in this amazing city. I mean how can you find original places if you don't get lost. Anyways, we ended up going to a chain pub to eat dinner at, it was called Elephant and Castle I believe.
Soon after it was time to go to the comedy show.
Second City is so amazing, the entertainers there are so funny that if anyone has the chance to see them in either Toronto or Chicago, I highly recommend it. I don't think I have laughed so much in such a long time. My sides hurt so much from it. Not only that, but the tickets were reasonably priced. Since I am a college student, I usually can't afford high priced things. We were on a budget, and we were very determined to stick to it.
After the show, we met up with friends from Minnesota who were in Toronto around the same time as us. This wasn't planned, but it was really nice to see them. After the show, we all walked to Toronto's version of New York City's Time Square. It was gorgeous during the night!
