Celine's Life Adventure

Our last few hours in Toronto for this trip, and we decided to spend the morning in St. Lawrence Market.

The long staircase will take us to Casa Loma.  Baldwin Steps Apparently, it's not a castle but a castle-style mansion of Sir Henry Pellatt.

We're in front of the pumpkin cart. One more picture before more tourists arrive! Inside the Library Their house has a Conservatory! This narrow staircase is one of the secret passages.
