Hearing A friend talking

So, hey...


So, did you know that if you don't have a passport or a birth certificate, you can't board a plane to go to Canada? Neither did I. This explains why I just drove nearly 500 miles to be in Toronto. Oddly enough, I did have my birth certificate with me when I drove (just to be sure), in case I was stopped at the Ambassador Bridge and asked for identification. Of course, that didn't happen. They just let me on through. Sometimes I just don't understand the planet.

Anyway, now I'm here in Canada. I'll be blogging some more later this evening. First I need some food. Anybody know what's good to eat in Canada?

    Jon,

    There may be 1 or 2 Tim Horton's in Toronto...1 or 2 every block, that is.

    If you're looking for a something a liitle more substantial, there's a Thai place called the "Thai Princess" near the theat(re) district.

    I'm consider driving to Canada in the near future and I was wodering, you didn't need to show them anything? They just let you through?
