Canada , Tortonto Blue Jays
Category: photos
So Back for Mother's Day my mother wanted to go to a BlueJays game Picked out tickets when we where both free... Of course Had no idea how work would effect the holiday in the past we had to work the Saturday after the holiday weekend with losing a day and how stuff falls ..... And then about a week after that date hit me oh Pride .... So with an early wake up couldn't really go out the night before either so.....

Some how with construction we got sent off the QEW how my mother got on 3 I have no idea ?? I didn't get many good pics car was to fast by the time you see a house but there is some amazing houses and land .....

So even with leaving early we lost time and wound up late.... Missed like first inning argh... I wanted to be early they where giving away hats for country day.... Plus there was so much traffic they had some of the way into town shut down that made things more confusing for some run maybe a marathon ? and so much traffic .... but then also it is confusing cause I don't drive so I don't know where the parking is and there is construction and it was a bit stressful ......

It was kinda shocking how many other people where out side and picking up tickets I assume for that game ........

The BlueJays won but the game flew by really quick and yes Toronto and Major League Baseball is expensive but I didn't get a lot to eat so.....

So Then post event looking for a great place to eat close didn't really happen... But on the way Out I said we need to go to the left my mother went to the right.... Now again and this is the problem is I told her that the water and high way is behind us ... But not so easy to get back and I also since I don't drive don't know if there is another way out of Toronto or once back that way where one gets on is there any where else to get on? Now my pictures I couldn't get them you see and then its to late... But there are these amazing houses near High Park that are like raised and people walk up steps to them.... There are also a lot of cool mural aka Tagging not sure if they where projects and sponsored or legit street art but there where some under bridges or is that over passes but the photos I did get and with directions a couple of times it was back to Buffalo ......

In Person all the steam or smoke is pretty well seen not sure if it translates here or what this place is ....
image

Yes the getting there late and not being in the seat for like anthems and all that stuff and all the traffic was a bit stressful but it was still a fun time the Draw back (And I think this would be true of going there for a Bills game also) is if you are only going for the Baseball like we did and we have done in the past the time to and back is longer then the game ..... but it was still nice and it was a great day ..... Just wish it worked out better ......

Category: photos
Nice to have a place to vent.... I like walking and taking photos is nice but this walk isn't fun... Plus there is some drama with my mother and sis part of the problem is that she doesn't know how to talk civilized is what I call it ... Alias photos of the Buffalo Area and around the water front ........

Beauty And the Beast
Category: photos
So a Week ago the Bandits lost and are in the playoffs playing tonight in Toronto .... Might have started by time I post this.... Them losing and being on a losing streak I didn't feel like posting any photos..... but in the playoffs the slate is wiped clean you never know.... But not knowing what and where and when they where going to play made me not really be able to get tickets to Beauty and The Beast , At sheas....

That being said I'll get back to that... I hope everyone Enjoys Pride this year ... For mother's day I got tickets to go to a Blue Jays came tuns out it is June 1st I didn't realize last years Parade was so Surreal maybe the word is Epic I hope everyone enjoys it ...... As I do the holiday thing There was what ever Mayday is ? , Sunday is May The 4th Be with you aka Star Wars day ? I'M a fan but it is a normal Sunday to me :) , Monday is Cinco De Mayo but with work on Tuesday that I'm leaving early so I can go to Wrestling I can't party and work clothes I don't like to where to Cantina Loco but maybe tacos to go from Jim's doubt it but whom knows.....

Back to Beauty and The Beast.... Granted the story isn't only a Disney one but the musical is their version of it... I feel silly writing that a musical is different then a movie (unless the movie is the musical filmed on stage they do make those) ... I don't know how the make decisions on this type of stuff... But I think the good Musicals get that it is different and don't try to be the Movie , But they have to keep the story of course... For those who have seen the movie it is so Iconic (might not be the right word) but the singing and animation are so good [to me at least] that at points the musical isn't as good as the movie... But it is still very good and funny in a lot of places and very good... To Compare it to the movie isn't fair of course I really enjoyed it a lot .... Yes it could be tough with lots of young kids there but it wasn't to bad....

The Photos I took are from around the Downtown Area mostly .... I don't agree with tearing that building down and putting up a nice new one... But the difference so huge yeah kinda have to be there.....

Hope I posted about the right amount of photos.... Sometimes holidays are tough... This one was ok .......
metalpeter - 04/21/14 18:40
Thanks .... the part where you are outside was closed but I took a few pictures through the glass .... Eating outside would have been fun .... The food was pretty good (But some of it I had trouble getting, some things gotta grab by hand tongs don't really work).... I forgot that last easter I don't remember what I didn but I didn't really have one..... Everyone got along and the food was good..... I took pictures with my small camera didn't feel like lugging around the bigger the one ......
joe - 04/21/14 12:58
Yesterday must have been an amazing day to eat out on the water. That cupcake plate looks delicious.

Nice pictures of the botanical garden too.

Canada and the Falls
Category: photos
So I can admit I almost didn't go to falls yesterday there is some stress with that.. Will they let me in and will I get back in and again almost didn't go.... With the new ID I want to make sure I can get in before I try to go some place like Toronto.... Plus if my mom wants can go to a Blue Jays game just to go.... So my goal or is that goals of getting into Canada and Getting back into US I got those done... Yes even the questions did make me nervous and with the enhanced ID it did take a few minutes and seemed longer then people with passports but maybe they don't like how I look.... Plus I could go for fun at some point also..... But I didn't make it to any of the cool or chain places on either side..... It takes me time to get out of the house on the weekend as I wake up and get ready ..... Then I just felt like getting home... Just incase I couldn't finish the food or it hurt ......

Some other notes are that it took a long time at both boarders ... I think there where groups there... I did see some cheerleaders Some of them held up a pyramid and then took a picture... Also there is construction going on and still the winter season kinda yes still parts are frozen .... I did see a couple of the Asian Model look some people did the take the picture of them Jumping in air it was fun ..... Now to just figure out how many pictures are enough and how many would be to many .........

Sure the pictures aren't in exactly the order or right order hope it was about the right amount... I'd like to go back to the falls for fun .... I have never been to any of the strip clubs there ... and there is other fun stuff to do also I'm sure not sure if the WWE store is there.....

I forgot to mention that it felt odd catching the 40 Bus I use to catch it all the time like every day for work and that felt a little different... It has been so long since I've been to Canada (Since I couldn't get in or back into USA is maybe more correct) and not sure how longs since falls when I took pictures on maid of the mist... I would like to check out the boats on canada side and try maid of mist again.... I'm guessing it won't happens but who knows.....
