Vacation - August 2008 - DAY SIX

Sadly, we had to leave Niagara Falls on this day. But Kit promised that as we headed home from Toronto, we could come back through to see the Falls one more time. That made me SMILE! In order to get to Toronto, we had to drive around part of Lake Ontario. You could see Toronto from the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls on a clear day. It didn't look very far away. But when you have to drive around part of Lake Ontario, it is a couple of hours on the road.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA

Water Fountain below Tower, beside Rogers Centre

Here's the fountain below.

We walked and walked and finally got to Ontario Place.

Along the way we were fascinated by the many black

squirrels...YES, I said BLACK squirrels! They were

beautiful and fairly friendly.

Ontario Place is a wonderful waterpark, a great place

for youth to ride fun rides and there is an arena

for concerts there. BUT, we weren't looking for
that, just something to do and LUNCH! We found

a great little grill beside one of many marinas.

The New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays

Rogers Centre - Sky Dome

When we arrived at the stadium for the game,

we could see that they had opened up the top

that was closed when we were up in the CN Tower

earlier in the day.

Opened Sky Dome

Oh, Canada!

Yankees - Batting practice

Andy Pettitte pitched for the Yankees.

David Purcey - pitched for a few innings for

the Blue Jays.

A-Rod, Jason Giambi & Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter batting.

Soon, bases were loaded with Yankees!

Our last game for this trip and we enjoyed all

four of them! But not a single home team won

while we were watching! The Blue Jays did

run the Yanks out of the park the next day!
