Heading Home

Showers, a typical free “continental” breakfast, pack up the car, drive to airport and turn in the car—which turned out to be a bit of a hassle.  Will think twice about using Budget again.  Easy into the airport with two carts full of luggage.  When we checked in on the computer it printed out our boarding passes, receipts and luggage tags and then we took all that over to an attendant and put the suitcase on the scale and onto the conveyor belt ourselves.  Easy through security and the gate was right there.  Wait went fast.  

John walked down the concourse and discovered a “living wall” and send me down there.  It’s a whole 2 story wall made of  plants.  The wall itself was made from recycled materials (milk containers etc), the plants locally sourced and it had a trickle irrigation system that watered it once a day.  There was wonderful signage about the planning and the plants used.  It is supposed to put a huge amount of oxygen into the air in the terminal.  Great idea!  These Canadians have their environmental heads on straight!

 

We’re off and away to Toronto!       

Lots more agriculture across all of Canada & US.

Had a quick layover in Toronto and home and in bed by shortly after midnight.  What a marvelous experience!
