Take Me Out To The Ball Game

On Saturday we went to our first baseball game! Sadly the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the New York Yankees, but we still had a great time watching and trying to work out what was going on. One player's baseball bat shattered into pieces after hitting the ball, so that was impressive. There was also a lot of enthusiastic crowd participation including Mexican waves, slow claps building up to applause and chants of "let's go blue jays let's go!". Actually, one guy was politely escorted off the premises by security for being too rowdy (I got the impression that it was his sole purpose in life to initiate as many Mexican waves as possible). I had an obligatory hot dog to complete the experience.

On Sunday we checked out the 'Taste of the Danforth', which is Canada's largest street festival. It takes place in Greek town (Danforth street) and involves lots of yummy Greek food stalls and free promotional sunscreen, hummus and yoghurt. Hooray! Here I am eating 'Loukomades' (honey doughnut balls).
