Day 33: ALL the governments

 Dear Gilles, 

Today we took the TTC to Queen's Park to visit the Ontario Legislature. The weather was threatening rain and it was windy. We took a walk around to look at statues of persons unknown to us and generally admire the old building. 

The current lieutenant governor, Ontario is Edith Dumont, was expected for the Throne Speech that day, so there was extra activity and an air of excitement all around. 

Public tours are offered every half hour. We made it through security and had 25 minutes until the next tour. We spent our time at the gift shop and purchased pins for the collections. 

Our tour included us and a couple from Ireland. The tour guide gives 6 tours a day, 5 days a week and talked really really fast - so it was sometimes hard to listen and process what he was saying. 

After the tour, we walked over to Toronto City Hall to meet up with my sister. She works for the City, so she was able to give us a fun tour, inside the big dome of the council chambers, up to one of the top floors for a view and we got pins. 

I was also able to sort out Toronto street parking for longer than a week at a time. 

Then, we headed across the street to the Sheraton Hotel and I VOTED. 

So through the day - we visited Municipal, Provincial and Federal activities.
