I forgot to mention that last night the falls, both American and Canadian, were lit up, in a repetitive series of all the colors of the light spectrum. Strange but beautiful!!!
This morning we headed down to the falls and went on a behind the falls tour. We took an elevator down to the base of the falls where there were tunnels with portals to look out as well as two outdoor observation areas at the side of the falls. The tunnels were not for those with claustrophobia. We loved the outdoor areas, it was amazing to see the falls from the side, the volume of the water was so immense. They gave everyone these ponchos to wear but we got soaked anyway.
After our good-by to Niagara Falls we were off to Toronto. The drive was an hour and a half, some of it along Lake Ontario, quite a sight. Toronto is huge and bustling. Our motel is right downtown. Our room is...er....quite a bit COZIER than the suite of yesterday. We headed out to look for a lunch spot and found an Irish pub a few blocks away. The place seemed oddly busy for the middle of the afternoon, we got the last table. After a few moments we realized the 5 large screen tvs were all on a soccer match between Manchester United and Chelsea and the crowd in the restaurant were all fervent fans of one team or the other. What a riot, any time any exciting thing happened the place was in an uproar. The food was wonderful and we enjoyed ourselves greatly. The other patrons must have been suprised when we left in the middle of the match!
The Rogers Centre is about a 25 minute walk from our motel. Oh, Canada!!! Luckily for you all I don't know how to do an audio on the blog or you would hear me warbling the Canadian anthem. We had first row seats down on the first base side. The game was great, good pitching, lots of hits, double plays, etc. The Angels won 4-3 and it was exciting right up to the last out.
The ballpark has a dome that was closed, we were happy about that since it was quite chilly out.
Tomorrow we plan to go to the top of the CN tower and do some more touring of Toronto before heading to our next stop, Windsor, Ont. Our next game is Friday eve in Detroit. We will try to post again tomorrow from Windsor.
