A Day Out on the Town

After deciding we were moving to Toronto, John immediately looked up ticket prices for the Toronto Orchestra. Only $14 for anyone between the ages of 18 and 35! So, this past weekend we got tickets and had a day out on the town.

One of the major stops was Dundas Square, the main square in Toronto which happens to be similar to Times Square in New York City. Unbeknownst to us, they were having an NBA Jam at the square, so basketball was the theme of everything...except the video games that were being played. If you look closely at the picture, you'll see that the video games were not basketball but hockey! You know you're in Canada when...

A few shots to show you the size of basketball stars:

The official NBA trophy!

Next stop - Chinatown. To be honest, after seeing and experiencing Chinatown in San Francisco, every other Chinatown has been a disappointment.

It was time for the concert. On our way there, we walked along Canada's Walk of Fame. This actor actually had TWO stars!

The Roy Thompson Hall is really a beautiful building inside and out.

(It's the big glass one on the right.)

We enjoyed the Americana music that was played that night - Adagio for Strings, Rhapsody in Blue, Candide, and something else...it'll probably never come to me.

Looks like fun... you and your bump look great!

Can we have a post about John's school or anything like that?
