Aside from starting in Vancouver and ending in Toronto, we had a short amount of time off the train in Winnipeg.

Who knew that cement silos could be works of art? These "Giants" can be seen at the Heidelberg Concrete plant on Granville Island.

Winnipeg

We got to Winnipeg at 10 PM on Sunday night and went for a short walk to the Red River pedestrian bridge.

Toronto

Tuesday, 23 September 
We arrived in Toronto about 3:30 PM, and had a short time to walk around the downtown area. We had to leave at 6 AM to go to the airport, so we really didn't have much time here!
