We spent a couple days in Toronto this past week, and I'm sure Mindy will post a few pics and/or comments. But for now I'll leave you with this Ross Experience Infographic. It charts the strength of the U.S. dollar (the blue line) vs. the Canadian dollar (the $ on x-axis) since we've been talking about visiting Toronto (almost 7 years now, yikes!).
A - The strength of the US$ back in October '02, which hovered around 1.56-1.59 CAN$ over the course of the month.
B - The strength of the US$ on the 2 days we spent in Toronto (8/19-8/20), which was worth 1.10 & 1.09 CAN$ on those 2 days, respectively.
Needless to say, our timing wasn't stellar as far as US$ purchasing power is concerned.
