Yes, I know I just blogged yesterday but am catching up...
Hope this finds you all well...
Doris took me to the bus in Orillia, $18.11 got me to within a block of my hotel, cool, huh?  On the way south for the 100k I saw, there were 3 lanes of chockablock cars heading out of the city, wow!  I have never seen anything like it!  Toronto has been taken over by us tourista's, ha!  Got here in good time...  Did a bit of shopping, finally got a manicure, then p/u a ticket for the game last night (Oilers were in town), also a 3day ticket for the hop on/hop off bus...  Walked around a bit, then over to The Real Sports Bar to eat before the game - quite the place!  Sat at the bar, on one side were newlyweds from P E I (on honeymoon - goin &g to the game), on the other side a young man from southern U K looking for work, he is a cop in England, sure was cool talking to all of them...  A bit of trivia: of the 82 times these 2 teams have met, they are tied at 41 wins each, well I witnessed the tie breaker...  It was a close game, the leafs won in o/t to very excited fans...  My seat was the nose bleed section, but it was great being there - reminded me of all the Canuck games I went with (the youngen), ha!  Also, I walked both going and home after, feeling perfectly safe...  Sure did sleep well, was glad to get back to my little room...  This hotel is transitioning to a Hilton, I was given one of the new rooms, very nice for the price, that's for sure...  This hotel is a block from city hall...
It has been raining today, so after having brekkie at Eggspectacular, rode the hop on bus, then went in hunt of a turkey dinner, found one @ the Marriott, just got home...  Oh, today, bought another bus ticket to Niagara Falls, traveling Tues., also arranged a couple of nights @ a B & B there, so now you have it, up- to-date...
Hope all is well with you all
Stay safe...
