Hamilton

<-- one of the oldest homes built by slaves. They left the US as they could be returned as property to their owners.

Me, Anna, Marie, Ollie and Steven -->





As soon as you cross the border, everything is greener on the other side. Beautiful leafless trees, and a different accent. We drop in on North Buxton, a town established by escaped slaves. They fled the US to find freedom in Canada.



Marie's godmother lives here, and the family is extremely hospitable. Just as soon as you think you've escaped the schlivo/rakia, they're trying to pile another one in.

Toronto is a nice city. There's 7 lanes each way on the highway east, and more cars than I've seen in one place before.

Is he posing for this? -- >
