Day 4 - Toronto!!!

   Today was a very long and busy day! I woke up at 8am after a fabulous sleep and charged to the showers because I had every intention of making to a 9:30am service in the centre of Toronto! Well long story short, I got to the address and couldn't see anything for the church I was looking for and the parking lot was empty! However there was signage out for a Metropalitin Bible Baptist Church - Pastor Gamy Romano. Their Sunday school started at 10am so I hung around! Turns out BOTH churches rent the same building! The one I was looking for rents downstairs and the one I ended up going to rents upstairs! It was a completely Filipino church and I was the only white person there! But it was also the friendliest church I have ever seen! I felt right at home and very welcome! It was also the longest service I've been too! Between S.S. And the main service, I didn't get out till 2pm!

Oh and to boot, when I did get out I realized I'd looked my keys in the ignition! Lol! Thank goodness for a spare!
   Then it was down to the Harbourfront Centre for the rest of the day! Because of horrid traffic it literally took me an hour to get down there and when I did get there I spent another hour slowly making my way in circles looking for a parking garage that wasn't already full!😯 However in the long run I found a underground garage that I later realized belonged to a group of condos and I parked for free! Pretty awesome considering I was supposed to pay $35 everywhere else! So I face timed my parents and took them with me on a tour of all the sights!😊


This fire rescue boat was putting on a water works show!


By this time I was starving since I hadn't had time to eat all day! Josiah constantly raves about Shawarma and since you can find it on practically every street corner here, I decided it was time to try it! Soooo good!!!



Today was definitely a "foodie day"! As I wandered thru I came upon a dozen food tents, each with their own unique food offerings! Ugh! So many cool looking things! But I had to limit myself so I just tried the fresh Churros!! Again...amazing!




   Then I continued on my way, enjoying all the sights, sounds and diverse cultures all around me! Truly an amazing afternoon!




I'm now back at my "home" for the night, tired out but happy!😊

Oh ya, here's a pic of the pet skunk who's camping out in this parking lot with me!😂
