Our next stop after Guelph was Georgetown where Gabe lives, who we also met on Manitoulin Island. The ride out there was gorgeous. The trees were really starting to display their fall colours, which I could not wait to see in full swing.
Gabe and Al`s farm.
Gabe and Al welcomed most kindly. Pam, who we also met on Manitoulin Island, came over as well because she just lives next door. It was great to see them again and to meet Al.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY. IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU!

When we crossed into Ontario from Manitoba we believed this was the end of bad roads. Unfortunately that was not the case AT ALL. If you are a cyclist, grab a tissue before looking at the photo below because it will surely make you cry!
Despite the bad roads, it was a nice ride into Toronto. I was quite stoked to see the the CN Tower! It looks big from afar but when you get up close it`s just gigantic.
Toronto Marina. Sail boats on water are just so photogenic!
HUUUGE! We did not end up going up the tower because we felt like it was not worth the price they charged. Anyways, it was fun watching CN Tower tour participants hang over the edge of the viewing platform (while secured by harnesses and ropes). I could not help but think of you Tabea. Yay ropes and rock climbing!!!! Miss it!!!

We tried selling our cards near the tower but we had no luck. We ended up chatting with a friedly snack vendor from Greece. He gave us a little bag of caramel corn to munch on. Mmm, yum!
Unfortunately we did not see much else of Toronto because traffic was a bit intimidating and it is difficult to go anywhere since the bikes cannot be left unattended. Sorry Toronto, I am sure you have lots to offer but it will have to wait till next time.
That same evening we made it out to Ajax, a town east of Toronto. There we met up with Glen, who we had met in Sault St. Marie. He offered his place for us to stay and even took us out for dinner at a local Italian restaurant called Casa Verde. It is run by an Italian family and everything is totally home made. Just amazingly delicious!!
Long live cheese cake!!!!!
....and tiramisu!!!
THANK YOU GLEN FOR LETTING US STAY AT YOUR PLACE AND FOR THE DELICIOUS DINNER! IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. STAY IN TOUCH!
