Our motivation to travel eight hours to Toronto, Ontario, was purely based on our desire to see the Cleveland Indians at an away game. Which we did. Twice. Friday's game was a win for the Tribe and Saturday was a very exciting game with a final score of 11-9, in favor of the Blue Jays.
We met many nice Canadians at Rogers Centre (formerly the SkyDome). We sat next to some gentlemen that thought "these were real nice seats, eh? Look at Bautista, right there, eh?" and next to a bachelorette party who had traveled from Sault Ste. Marie for the game and continuing bachelorette festivities. Since we were near right field, we were also surrounded by a large quantity of Asians cheering for Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland's Korean right-fielder. What an experience!
A ride up the CN Tower, a late night restaurant in a trendy part of town, and a Greek dinner in Greektown with my dad's cousins rounded out our international travels. Now if I can just figure out how to spend my left over Canadian currency, I'll have it made.
