We did go up the CN Tower in Toronto for dinner a few years ago, which I think is the third highest in the world, and I even stood on the glass floor there, which was a little scary but not too bad. It's ok so long as you know the chances of anything untoward happening are pretty slim.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-14428601991989896352014-04-06T07:39:28.946+01:002014-04-06T07:39:28.946+01:00Names of towns are like names of people - they acq...Names of towns are like names of people - they acquire their own character.
