The Baseball Trip 2014 / Day 8

Friday, July 18, 2014

Wondrous find! The Dundas Diner, just a skosh down the highway from our hotel, is a great breakfast place. (That's right, I used the word skosh.) The home fries had this garlic and chives accent that made my whole trip. Consider those with eggs over easy and some bacon. Damn tasty! We promised the proprietor we would give her a thumbs up on Tripadvisor.com.



The plan is to take the lakeshore route into Toronto, visit Woodbine, one of the classiest horse racing emporiums in the world, and then shoot into downtown to see the Blue Jays take on the Major League worst Texas Rangers at night.

Radical Road

Random Observation from Randy:
"Road work is like Sisyphus. You will never get on top of it."

Woodbine was fun, but I wasn't as successful as I was in Boston. I lost about fifty bucks, but it could have been a lot worse if it weren't for a horse named Lady Go Go. I should always bet horses with two go's in their name.

Here's some pictures of Woodbine:

Anyway, we heard there was a probability of rain that evening and the Rogers Centre dome would be closed for the ballgame. We've already seen that movie. No thanks! We'll just travel on to another Provincial Park and finally get to camp. Only...

Sold out.
