Day 4

Today, we left Chicago with the goal of Toronto. We drove through beautiful Gary, Indiana, and then through Michigan toward Canada. Ted and I were all ready with our passports to cross the border, but they didn't ask for any identification at all...just passed us through.

Our first exciting adventure in Canada was at a gas station. I used my debit card to pay for the gas, and then I got a call from Visa saying that someone used my debit card in California and charged it $140. Obviously that wasn't true, so I had them cancel my card. In the process of doing this, however, the lady realized that my card wasn't charged in California, but Canada...so it was the gas station charged me $140 for $30 Canadian of gas. Since Canadian dollars are about 1 to 1 with US dollars, that didn't make any sense. Anyways, we filed a fraud report and hopefully get this resolved (I still had to cancel my card).

The rest of our trip through Canada mostly involved us taking small side trips through my mission, seeing my old apartments, etc... It was really fun to see my mission again. Ted was a good sport as I drove us through cities and remembering things from my mission.

We didn't take a lot of pictures today, but we did manage to take a picture of almost all my apartment buildings. I realize these aren't the most exciting of pictures, but here you go anyways:

London apartment:


Kitchener apartment:


St. Catherine's apartment:

We finally got to Toronto, where we spent the night. We actually were in Brampton, which is right next to Toronto and was my mission headquarters. We saw the Toronto Temple (which is in Brampton), and then ate at Montana's (a restaurant I went to a lot as a missionary).

We forgot the camera when we went to see the temple, but you can pretend that we took this picture:



Here's some pictures of approaching Toronto...

The main freeway through the city is the Gardiner expressway, which is pretty cool considering that it includes the "i."



And, as always, I'll leave with a picture of our hotel in Brampton, ON.
