Left Ottawa for Montreal today. Was in Toronto about 3 days but going back for 5 days after I see Montreal, then the long flight home.

I was very impressed with the variety in Toronto a lot more ethnicities and cultures than back in my small city.

Never been to North America before and wasn't quite prepared for the scale of buildings - closest we have is London/Birmingham/Manchester. I'm a bit acrophobic so I had to stay away from the bay and centre but everything else is ... fantastic especially older buildings. I've never seen a Little Portugal before, want to see Koreatown and Kim's Convenience before I go. Feels like half the world has come to stay.

The little 3 story houses with porch and basement are lovely, they're also painting and decorated more individually. Planning on seeing the parks and more of Kensington Market too. Plenty to sketch (high park was great).
