Glee On Top of the World, eh?

Yesterday (Wednesday) morning, the Glee Club journeyed to the nearby St. James Cathedral to perform a few songs in the historical building. The space was a fantastic way to enjoy the more spiritual sounds of the Glee Club. We even had a chance to rock out in front of the church to "I Can See Clearly" for some Toronto passersby as the morning rain clouds parted. The Club then made a visit to St. Lawrence Market for some world-famous peameal bacon sandwiches, a Toronto specialty. The Glee Club also had a chance to perform at St. Michael's Cathedral, the seat of the largest archdioceses in Canada. After these two inspiring performances, the Clubbers were excited to take a 22 km/hr elevator ride to the top of the CN tower, where we could stand at the highest publicly accessible observation deck in North America. Standing 341 meters above the ground, the Glee Club saw the full breadth and beauty of Toronto. Next, the Glee Club meandered through the stunning exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Ontorio, taking in some diverse and breathtaking artwork from Canadian and other international artists. To conclude the day, the Club split up, and some members visited a local brewery, saw an improv comedy show at the Second City Comedy Club, and went to perform some awesome Glee-karaoke.

Today (Thursday), the Glee Club spent a free day in Toronto, taking in a few more of the fantastic sights and sounds of the city. Clubbers visited the Lake Ontario waterfront, the famous Yonge Street, and visited the inspiring Royal Ontario Museum. In the evening, the Club split into two groups to experience some tear-jerking sights: one group saw the emotional play War Horse, and others saw the Yankees defeated by the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. The Glee Club has thoroughly enjoyed its stay in Toronto, and was amazed at the hospitality and spirit of the local Torontonians. Tomorrow, we will be saying a warm farewell to Toronto and heading south to Niagara Falls!
