Canada, eh?

We made it to Toronto after a 4 hour drive and a stop at Tim Hortons (a.k.a. Canadian Dunkin Donuts) for much needed coffee. I learned an important lesson today about stopping to pee before it’s an emergency. (Don’t worry, I didn’t have an accident J) You would think I’d know better especially when I am constantly asking my students why they wait until the last minute to ask to use the bathroom!  

Anyway, we got through border control just fine, except for the woman reprimanding Andrew for not stopping at the right spot to take a picture of the car—oops! Glad I wasn’t driving!

We ended up buying tickets to the Blue Jays game at the ticket counter (cheapest seats).

They played the Yankees who I like, but Andrew tells me all the time, “You can’t be a White Sox fan and a Yankees fan.” I can’t help it; I love Derek Jeter! Unfortunately, Jeter didn’t play today L The good news—Nick Swisher (an ex-Sox player) was playing! The Yankees won 7-2!

Swisher up to bat!

It was another hot one—93 degrees! We asked for seats in the shade, unfortunately, those don’t exist at a day game. We sat in section 517 then 512 then 511. We moved as the shadow of the rafters moved!!

Yes that is a footlong dog!! Andrew thinks it should count as 2 on our hot dog count!

After the game, we walked around and saw some of the sights of Toronto. Enjoy the pics!

The CN Tower

The Historic Distillery District

The Old Town Hall with the modern buildings behind

Toronts's version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Of course, Bryan Adams would make it to the Walk of Fame!!

 A stop at Elephant & Castle Pub and Restaurant for a much needed Strongbow!
