3 days, 3 trips to Toronto, a review!

We had the great opportunity to visit Toronto three days consecutively and also visited the hammer on the middle day this week. We have just returned home after day three and besides being extremely tired, having put almost 1000 kms on the car and increased our support of Tim Horton's the trips were more than enlightening, in fact, we were/are pleased with the courtesy of the folks in the "big smoke" with the exception of the drivers(I can't imagine what Montreal is like).

Over three days we visited two hospitals, numerous wholesale stores that normally open only to retailers , a wine distributor, a few eating establishments and even made it to St. Lawrence market.

We found the many people both professional and folks on the street to be pleasant, friendly and they even greeted us with smiles (except for one guy in Harvey's in Mississauga). Toronto the good lives, the people were enjoying their work, the staff at the hospitals were kind, happy to deliver good news(who isn't) and eager to assist in many ways.

I live in a small town, enjoy the stars at night and can tolerate the farm smells all year round. I spend as little time in Toronto(or any big city) as I have to, mainly because I do not like the size. Our experiences over the past three days have been great and even though we are tired of travelling and visiting medical establishments, our lasting memory from the end of this summer is one of sunshine and smiles in Toronto, thanks!
