God - it's been close to a month since I last posted a blog! It's been a hectic time. The trip to Toronto was great as we walked around downtown. Our hostel was in a great location and very close to the Hockey Hall of Fame! It is quite the shrine and was well worth the $12.00 cover charge. I spent three hours there and could have stayed longer. It felt good to be back in Canada even though it was in eastern Canada - well I guess it is really central Canada. Some things were the same like back in Edmonton (stores, CBC, friendly people, clean areas) while other things were different. I was disappointed to see no CFL news in the Toronto paper. Darcy and I wanted to see Niagra Falls as there were very cheap day trips but we just didn't have enough time. Seeing the CBC museum and tour of the studios was interesting though. It brought back childhood memories of watching Friendly Giant and Mr. Dressup. Surprising factoid that Fred Rogers (Mr. Roger's Neighborhood fame) began his career with Ernie Coombs at the CBC in the early 1960s!

It was refreshing to walk outside and not be drenched in sweat. Toronto apparently was suffering from a heatwave while we were there. It was warm but not like South Florida weather. I guess I have adapted a little bit to the weather here. We both did not want to return home on July 26 to the heat and craziness. Unfortunately my return was not smooth. Damn...I have to close up at work soon so I'll have to keep everyone in suspense as to what happened....
