Roadrunner Recap: Toronto

We are a little behind on posting so I thought I'd do a recap of Toronto.

But first, big welcomes to our newest Followers:

Thanks for following and I hope  you'll find plenty to comment about....

The last week has been quite a blur during our stay west of Toronto.  We were there to meet up with Adam after he finished his train trip across Canada.  We decided to show up a day early and go into Toronto and see some of the great city.   We were not disappointed.
We drove our Honda into a Go Train connecting point and rode into downtown Toronto to Union Station.  It was a beautiful day to walk around town and we did that for a couple of hours.
We went by the University of Toronto and then to Chinatown for dinner.  It was fantastic.
Then we found a place to get dinner before the baseball game.  

Meghan's list of goals included the train across Canada and having Peter take here to a Toronto Blue Jays game.  We met up with a lot of Adam and Meghan's friends and got tickets in the same section.
It was at the top of the stadium (Roger's Center) and right behind home plate.  We got to meet a woman doing a documentary and another group filming and interviewing Adam.  Some media folks have taken an interest in her story, their story, his story.  As their work gets finished it will be posted at fortheloveofmeghan.org

Since the stadium roof was open on the beautiful night, we could see the magnificent CN tower nearby.
The game was a blowout (10-2) Boston but it was a terrific evening and fun to see the gang again.  
We went back to the train station 
and it was crowded with some trains cancelled.  We finally got one after 10 and got back to the RV and into bed after mid night.  Pretty late for us.  But worth it.

Thanks for viewing the Roadrunner Chronicles.  After a 'hiatus' of intermittent or no internet connection while in Canada we are back up and running!

  5. What I noticed about Toronto is the cleanliness...It looked very tidy...I am not a big city fan, but taking a train in seems to be the best way to do it...avoiding road rage...Good pics of the ballgame!!

  7. How exciting for Adam that he got to cross off another item on Meghan's to do list and you got to be a part of it.

  8. I am so glad you were able to be there with Adam and his friends. I continue to follow his journey and blog. His grief and sense of loss is so sad. Being surrounded by his family and friends certainly must help ease some of it.
