Left Europe on the 6th of October for tropical Canada. Stayed with Peter and Nancy and the cousins Katie marie, Justin and Braden. Braden took this picture... he is very artistic. and nearly dropped my camera. Uncle Peter was good... taking lots of time off work even though the world was coming to an end and he was under lots of pressure to be helping out... good man Pete.
Went and saw the Toronto Argonauts play the edmonton eskimos in the canadian football leaugue. This was at the Rogers centre which when the roof is open like it was this night... has a good view of the CN Tower when you look straight up. Its the tallest building in the world... thats pretty tall.
Braden was excited I think. Argonauts won by 2 points i think... by the end of it i felt like i had ADHD and perhaps had become even stupider because of all the "entertainment" in between the plays. you are constanly bombarded with advertising and noise and sound and it was too much for an old man like me.









This is uncle Peter bringing a radical new style of play to the world of Ice hockey. I got up at god knows when to see this... it was worth it. bit cold next to the rink but i was impressed that they had a defribulator (speling?) at reception. thats a cool sport.










This is the view from the glass floor which is about 2/3 of the way up the CN tower... i felt a little uneasy standing there but i think its a cool picture.
I couldnt see mum doing this but next time we are both in canada at the same time... ill make sure it happens.



Also saw the Ice dogs play the bulls at the local rink... this was an Ontario hockey league game so they dont get paid as much but all want to get notices and recruited for the big leagues... soooo... they all like to hurt each other... that was cool. I think i would enjoy ice hockey but im not too sure that i could stand up by myself.... oh well... ill leave it to Peter.
