Back from Toronto

I returned from spending the week in Toronto.
After not being there for 9 months it was weird for it to be so familiar and for so many people to remember us at the Hotel etc.
Here are some pictures, keep in mind we did get a lot of work done.

Tried some weird Halloween soda:

Found some candy Tom would like:

Settled in for a night of Horse Racing at Woodbine:

3 of the 6 of us bet on this winning Horse with winning ticket shown:

View from dinner at Niagara 775ft up. Mike is the one who suggested this place to me last year, now we all love it. But at over $100 per person I did have to do some prework to get approval for us to go:

Then the 4 of us took the leftovers of our Canadian money to the Niagara Casino. We had $35 in total after pooling all of our change etc together, and after a few hands of blackjack I turned it into $105 and we cashed out. At the cage, they asked if I wanted large or small bills, I said large because I had never seen a Canadian $100. My coworker has a picture of us outside where we talked the doorman into letting us take some pictures with a big limo outside as if we were rolling away in that with our winnings.

We took the winnings to a sports bar where I was able to watch the Red Sox game. They had a good local live band who played everything from the Doors to Stone Temple Pilots.

I really like that restaurant with the view of the falls. The last time I was there was when the higu power grid failure occured and the US side lost power for a few hours. There was a buffet the level below that was not as expensive, but glad you guys enjoy it too.
