So I finally went up and it was awesome. I love heights, and the views were incredible. I&#8217;m glad I finally went up. That makes the third high place I&#8217;ve been to, for the first time, on the second visit to a city in a year. Seattle Space Needle, Stratosphere in Las Vegas, and now the CN Tower in Toronto. It&#8217;s been a (somewhat) good year for that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4927437359\/\" title=\"CN Tower by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4114\/4927437359_e58dba367c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"CN Tower\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nOn the way home I was caught in a freak downpour. I&#8217;ve decided that for the remainder of my time in Toronto (however long that is) I&#8217;m going to carry around an umbrella in my purse just in case. No more getting soaked to the bone! Edmonton has an unpredictable climate, but Toronto has also been a mixed bag. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4928032992\/\" title=\"CN Tower by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4136\/4928032992_2bc0833e27.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"CN Tower\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nWe went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ranchorelaxo.biz\/\">Rancho Relaxo<\/a> (300 College Street, Toronto) for dinner, Vegan Chimichangas, they were good, a bit meatier than I like, but I&#8217;m not super fond of fake meat products in the best of times. I&#8217;m fairly certain that they used daiya because the cheese was melty.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4930474939\/\" title=\"Vegan chimichanga from Rancho Relaxo by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4138\/4930474939_a0fb305f39.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Vegan chimichanga from Rancho Relaxo\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThen for dessert I tried the deep fried soy ice cream. There was no way of getting a nice picture of it, it doesn&#8217;t look particularly good when it is visible, and the lighting was terrible (and the photographer, i.e. me, was being lazy). BUT it was remarkably delicious. Vanilla covered in a cornflake like batter, with simple syrup (or maybe even agave syrup) drizzled on top. Trust me on this one, it&#8217;s worth eating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last time I was in Toronto I didn&#8217;t go up to the CN Tower, and I felt I was missing out on an important (\/tounge-in-cheek) tourist experience.
