Toronto Canada to Buffalo New York

Woke up relatively early in the Chicago area today. The clouds looked very interesting to me, though I guess I must have a thing for clouds so it's not unusual.

I don't remember if I took this in Detroit or Port Huron.

I finally made it to Toronto, and then I couldn't find where the downtown was. It's not right off the highway, and I couldn't see any signs. I drove past the entire city before realizing I had missed it. I turned around and luckily found some signs pointing to the downtown. The same thing happened to me trying to find my way out of the city. I got lost for at least an hour until I asked the third person how to get to QEW. I had been asking people where Queen Elizabeth Highway was. I guess nobody calls it by the proper name, woops!

After finding my way out, I headed to Buffalo and had a night tour with a friend. Here's a picture I took while we were driving around town.

Vancouver and Seattle

I was going to spend the day in Seattle today, but after researching and finding out that museums would be free on Thursday, I decided I'd go to Vancouver instead.

This ended up being incredibly silly in the long run for two reasons. One, I failed to notice the free museum hours didn't start until after 5pm, or in the evening at least. Secondly, I really didn't spend any time in Vancouver at all. I went with the intention of seeing things..did the wi-fi checking thing, and then the parking meter wouldn't take my change even though it said it accepted US coins. Ahh! So I eventually gave up after driving around and through the city for an hour or so.

I also took very few pictures since I was driving in my car so much.

And then when I arrived back in Seattle, it was already night. I drove around playing this Shadowrun soundtrack that I'd found online awhile back. I stopped a few places and got out to take pictures. I didn't get my tripod out, so not many pictures came out. I guess I just like to mess around with settings without the tripod to see what I can come up with.
