Tuesday April 5: a day in Toronto and Back 2 Buffalo

8:30 AM and COLD!

Good day everyone. It was a very very frigid morning when I first started getting up. It was 23° the 2nd time I woke up. What I mean by that is that

It's April!!!

I had to get up to separate time to move my car

Downtown

from one parking spot to another. I first moved it from the lot by 5:45 AM I had to move the car from

Street Scene

the lot by 6 AM or face a doubling of my parking fee. So I move the car to off street parking near the hospital.

Church Near Hostel

The only problem was I had to make sure it was legal to park there. I did find that out and I had to move

the car by 8 AM. I had to get Abby get up from my nap and move the car to a parking spot I found a

lot that was cheaper than the other lot nearby. The man at the hospital told me about it. It was at a holiday

in express. That was on Lombard Street. Getting in before 9 gave me a full day use for a total of $12.00.  I again

went back to sleep because I was really tired. I did not get up till 10:30 AM permanently. I went to the

coffee shop I went to last time but the coffee was bad this time. So I found another place and the

Hockey Hall of Fame

coffee was much better. Next stop was the hockey Hall of Fame.

There was pretty cool. The only disappointing part is that the room not enough videos of great

mostly featured Canadian players and even had a few Women inductees in the Hall of Fame. I did see

Bernie Parent, Bobby Clarke, Bill Barber and Keith Allen as inductees in the Hall of Fame. That was pretty

cool. They featured a whole display about the 1972 team Canada versus Soviet serious. But even have a plaque for it. They consider that most meaningful hockey game in Canadian history. I declined to pay $10 with me standing next to the Stanley Cup but I did take a

for sure. I paid an extra 12 bucks to go even higher up. It was

pretty cool and I took a lot of pictures that's for sure. After a while I got myself really exhausted. Since it was going on 3 PM I knew it was time to get the

hell out. I didn't have time to go to the art museum. I'll have to get that next time around. Well, I had a devil

temporarily while was in Canada for about 24 hours. After wondering around for 25 minutes I did manage to find the

holiday in express and pulled out of there with no incident. By this time it was 3:15 PM and rush-hour was was beginning to build. I easily

have time. I then cross the peace Bridge with very little incident. Again I did not stop where I'm supposed

to stop but the guy wasn't hostile like the other times I went. I took interstate 190 S. to 90 and got off at
