The CN Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.



The glass floor of the elevator.

Terry 147 stories up in the CN Tower. He's smiling, but he's hanging on to a rail.

Looking out at Toronto and Lake Ontario.

Edge Walk.  People pay $175 to stand and lean out on the edge, over 140 stories off the ground, held on by a couple of cables.  Mari thinks she'd like to do it.

The Toronto Blue Jays were playing a game right next door to the CN Tower.

Toronto Blue Jays were in action.

The glass floor is strong enough to hold 14 large hippos.  Those are Mari's feet, and it was strong enough to hold her, too.

Good thing Mari's not as heavy as 14 hippos.

Well, there were regrets--regretted that we couldn't finish the trip on our bikes.

Cool art work next door at the bottom of the CN Tower.  Mari likes the man holding his nose.



At Mari's cousin Jody's.  Terry, David, Jody, Jolynn, JD.

The awesome lobster door handles at L.L. Bean, Freeport, Maine.

L.L. Bean cookies.  Expensive but fun cookies.

Mari eating lunch at L.L. Bean.    It was cheaper than buying boots or a canoe.

L.L.Bean's flagship store; one of many stores on its campus.  Awesome boot. 100th year anniversary of L.L. Bean store. Began with boots.

Day 63, 7/11/12, to Higgins Beach, south of Portland, Maine

The creek right next to our room at the Carriage Motel in North Woodstock, New Hampshire. It babbled during the night.
