    The continuing adventures of the Saltire in Toronto

    This morning we decided to go do something with the Saltire, we were led to the CN Tower. The wonderful thing about traveling with the Saltire is that there was no need to wait for the pesky elevator. I've been to the tower before but it was a first time for both the Saltire and Catherine. We did get a few photos

    The Island Airport


    The Saltire on the SkyPod 1465 feet in the air.


    Looking down at the observation deck, there are people walking around out there, it was not a windy day, but I hope these guys are being paid enough I certainly would not like to do it.


    The Saltire and myself on the SkyPod level.
