Toronto Day 2 - On our way to Niagara Falls

Last night we had a small and quiet dinner. After all of our stops yesterday, we went to Valumart to get supplies and in addition to water, candy and snacks, bought fruit, sliced ham, pepperoni slices, brie cheese and a baguette. The latter three items became our dinner (and part of our snack for today).  The weather looked shitty as we left Toronto. This was on the Gardiner Expressway, passing by CN Tower (more on that in a future post) and the Rogers Center (building with white domed roof).
There were companies that had their "ads" in the grass on the highway...
Approaching a bridge (the name escapes me)...
We got gas on the way there. I thought the symbol for "wine" was so cute (grapes!)...By the way, you'll notice the speed limit is in km, not miles. Canada is on the metric system.

The freeway speeds were generally 100 km which is equivalent to 65 mph. In some of the smaller areas, it was 80 km. Man, that's like only 45 or 50 mph. All I could think of was this, Sammy Hagar's classic speeding anthem...
Here's TC's choice of chips which we snacked on...these were pretty good, but salty!
Here's something you don't see often in San Diego...I'd hate for this truck to have an accident and spill it's contents...
Almost there!
Here we are at our first stop...I think that sign at the bottom is for complete dumbasses. The sign overlooks a ravine with a raging river below!
Next stop, the Whirlpool Aero Car!
