STRIFE - CANADIAN TOUR DAY 3

Our last show of the trip was in Toronto. We played a club called the Kathedral on Queen Street.


We had a day off the next day, so we had some time to see what Toronto had to offer. We saw a few shops, and they were all really nice. Ransom, Nomad, Goodfoot, and the new Stussy store are all connected, kind of like a streetwear mini mall. I didn't get a chance to take any photos, but all 4 stores were really nice, and worth checking out.
We also got a chance to check out the CN Tower, which is the largest free standing structure in the world. It is also considered one of the modern 7 wonders of the world.



Once you take the long elevator ride to the top, there is a section of the observation deck that has a glass floor! It may not sound scary to you, but when the only thing separating you and the ground at 1,122 feet up is 3 inches of glass you can't help but be a little afraid! This pic is of our tour guide/ driver extraordinaire on top of the glass!
We were leaving town the next day, and on our way out we stopped by Niagara Falls.
Here are a few facts about the falls:
1. The first person to go over the falls was a man names Sam Patch in 1829, although the first person to go over in a barrel was a 63 year old teacher in 1901!
2. The volume of water approaching the falls during peak flow season is 202,000 cubic feet per second .
3. A major portion of Superman II was set at Niagara Falls, and Superman saves a small boy who went over the falls .
4. In 2003 Kirk Jones set the record as the only man to go over the falls without a floatation device. He later went of to join the circus.
