I recently vacationed in Toronto, Ontario and just loved it. Here's why, in photos.
 |
| It's huge. With 2.8 million residents, it's the 4th largest on the continent, behind only Mexico City, NYC and LA. |
 |
| They have bike sharing. Same infrastructure as DC's system. Same bikes, too. |
 |
| Diverse economy: finance, arts, sports, tourism, education. Diverse people: 2/5 residents are foreign born. |
 |
| It's close. Flight time from DCA is just 58 minutes. |
 |
| So. Much. Vegan. Food. |
 |
| Toronto Islands. Very cool and quiet spot in Lake Ontario. |
 |
| Subway trains run 2-5 minutes, except on weekends when you have to wait the whole 5 minutes. For real. |
 |
| TTC Metro puts DC Metro to shame. Here, an articulated train with no need for interior doors. |
 |
| The street car system is the real gem though. Even more so than the subway. Take notes DC. |
 |
| Great in town neighborhoods like Kensington Market. Lots of street art, much of it government sanctioned. |
 |
| This is what happens to cars in Kensington Market. |
 |
| They have an an established Chinatown. |
 |
| Queen Street is a microcosm of the city. You get a bit of everything as you traverse east and west from downtown. |
 |
| Just a cool, cool, town. I will be back! Thanks TO. |
