We stayed at a Motel 6, which wouldn't warrant a mention if it were not for our humble night clerk, Muad. Muad was very interested in the baseball trip, and he gave me his email address so I could forward him the blog link. Muad is now part of the Baseball Trip lore.
On to Toronto. Everything in Ontario looks the same as Ohio or Indiana except cleaner.
Skydome at Rogers Centre left us underwhelmed. The stadium is a big bowl with an industrial feel, somewhat like the back corridors of a mall. The temperature was fine - 28degrees, whatever that means - but the skies were threatening. So lucky us, we get to experience the whole game with the dome on. Yea.
The Blue Jays rocked the Twins with four home runs, and beat them 11-5. I'll say this, the fans are really into their team. Here's some pictures of the Rogers Centre.

After the game, Randy and I walked around the surrounding area and took some shots. Toronto is a city of a few million people, but still growing. There were six buildings under construction in the immediate area:
Here's a shot of the CN Tower. It's too tall for a good shot, unless i walked about two miles away.
Here's the scene outside the park after the game was over:
After the game we left town and headed for Rock Point Provincial Park, along Lake Ontario. Along the way we stopped at 'Bob's Place' for ribs. Also, another first: We saw an open-air prayer meeting in the middle of the town.
Random observation from Randy:
Hey, it's a Come to Jesus meeting! I don't get it. Well, you are what you know. And, you know what you are.
When we finally got to the campgrounds, we built a fire and listened to the waves roll in.
Random observation from Randy:
This fire wanted to burn.
Favorite sign: Authentic Chinese and Canadian food!
