day 19

The day started out with Mike and me running through the parking lot to make the train to downtown Toronto so that he could make it to work on time.  As he went to work, I found a coffee shop with free wifi.  I had an idea of a few things I wanted to see, and Mike and his wife had suggested a few others.

I ended up circling and criss-crossing most of the downtown area as I saw the new and old City Hall buildings, the old Maple Leaf Gardens, the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), some of the University of Toronto - St. George Campus, the St. Lawrence Market (for fried bacon sandwich), and the Hockey Hall of Fame.

There were several other things which I did not see, so I'll have to come back here with Alex.  One thing which I noticed in Toronto was that there was an interesting mix of old and new architecture, sometimes even in the same building, such as the ROM.  In the picture of the old City Hall, you can see modern skyscrapers in the background.

Later that night I attended one of Mike hockey games at one of the newer rink complexes in Toronto.  I had never been somewhere with four sheets of ice in one building.  Unfortunately his team wasn't able to hold on and lost in the last few seconds of the game, even with Mike's two goals.
