Take me out to the ball game


Today we took it easy. After a slighlty later start, we wandered around for a bit before heading off to the Rogers Centre to watch the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Boston Red Socks. This was game 3 in the series, and it was locked up at 1-1, so there was strong local interest in the result.


We grabbed some hot dogs and Blue Jays supporter gear just before the game, and were entertained by a guy who had set up his drum kit outside the stadium.


We had prebooked tickets, which was a good idea as the stadium was pretty full - 39,000 people at the game.


The Red Socks won the game 3-0, but there was still a pretty good vibe from the local supporters. There were lots of Red Socks fans in town, because it is apparently easier to see their team away from home.

Hi happy travellers. Poor old Blue Jays must have been disappointed, but I"m sure you all had a good time anyway.
Judging by the photos, the weather is still being kind to you and you are all looking well and happy.
I'll be looking forward to hearing all about "back to school days" shortly and it will be interesting to hear how many changes have been made to the school in the years that have passed.
God bless and take care.
Bye for now
Love
Mum

PS Sambo is still being a good boy, but does tend to go a little "ape" when I turn up.
