I'm in the Yorkdale Mall right now, having braved the Toronto transit system . . . Driving my RV up and down the mountains of West Virginia - piece of cake; making the best of a motor breakdown in Toccoa, Georgia - no problem; navigating buses in Toronto - a flaming nightmare! I brought my iPad, not wanting to lug my laptop with me, so I don't seem to have access to my pictures. They should be in Dropbox, but I guess the wifi at the campground wasn't strong enough to upload them properly - ergo, no pictures with this post!
Sunday I went to the Four Seasons Centre to watch Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes. It was very powerful and great to finally see Ben Hepner in action - very impressive. After the performance, Julia and Ron and I had dinner together, which was awesome!
Tuesday, I had lunch with Phil, my brother - wonderful to see him again and to spend time chatting!
I'll add pictures when I can!!!

Saturday, October 19, 2013: On the road again!! I arrived in Toronto Wednesday, after taking the scenic route (Hwy 7) thanks to Samantha, my GPS lady - I wasn't paying attention, just following her directions, and by the time I realized that the 401 was getting further away, it wasn't worth it to turn around - and anyhow, I was in no hurry, just enjoying the drive. I hoped to see lots of leaf colour, but was quite disappointed - lots of grey with splotches of colour here and there. I guess that's the down side of no real frost yet!
I spent most of yesterday trying to get into this blog so that I could post! Maybe today most of the other people in this park are not on the internet - hope that I can actually post this - there's an error message popping up already . . . So - for those of you who have been looking for new posts - it's not my fault!! Very frustrating . . .
Thursday was awesome - spent time with my son Bobby and his dog Barkley (picking him up from the vet in Guelph), then got to see Kara (she works far too much - rarely get to see her, so this was special!), then had lunch with Bobby and Julia in Marcatto's, the Italian restaurant where Julia works. Wonderful day all around! Tomorrow I'm going to the /Four Seasons' Centre to see a Benjamin Britten opera, Peter Grimes - then dinner with Julia and a friend - looking forward to that, too!
