2017 Great Lakes
Late August found us going on a Great Lakes tour with the Flying Longhorns.

Toronto Ontario, Old City Hall
from wikipedia: It was the home of the Toronto City Council from 1899 to 1966 and remains one of the city's most prominent structures. The building is located at the corner of Queen and Bay Streets, across Bay Street from Nathan Phillips Square and the present City Hall in the Downtown Toronto. The heritage landmark has a distinctive clock tower which heads the length of Bay Street from Front Street to Queen Street as a terminating vista.
