Toronto

I went to Toronto this past weekend for Cora's and Trevor's wedding.

On Friday, I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame (the first HOF I've been to).


It was a little different than I expected.  I thought there would be a little memorial to each person in the Hall, but instead there were a few large displays for the "legends".  Otherwise, there were a lot of team displays.  I saw a replica of the Stanley Cup:


They also had a special exhibition of goalie masks. 


Ahh, Pelle Lindbergh.  What might have been ...

Saturday, I took a trip to the CN Tower.



As expected, the view was excellent.  Unfortunately, it was humid and hazy, so visibility was limited across Lake Ontario.  But the view of Toronto was nice!


The University of Toronto is in the center of the above picture, where the green dome and green space are.

There was also an Indy Car race taking place this weekend. 


Here I am standing on the glass floor, more than 1100 feet above the ground.  Yikes!


I stood there long enough to take the picture, but not much longer!

The wedding took place later that evening at the Hart House on the University of Toronto campus.


The ceremony seemed to go without a hitch.  The clouds provided shade, which was a welcome relief after the record-breaking heat the day before!  This was the impressive dining hall where we ate dinner:


Overall, it was a fun weekend!
