The day came by so Mike, Kevin and myself went down town early in order to make the most of the day. It may sound like I haven't done that much in Toronto but its because I have been here before. We went to the Royal Ontario Museum or ROM for short. Mike and Kevin were going on about the place having loads of dinosaur skeletons. From what I can remember, the only ones I have seen were at the Natural History Museum in London, England and in the Museum of Natural History in New York City, USA. I was in the mood for walking around slowly looking at these massive skeletons of animals that previously ruled this planet. Plus the museum was free today. The best thing in there was this massive turtle skeleton, it must have been the size of a tank, maybe bigger, it was enormous. It looked as though it would have been so graceful drifting along the underwater currents and glistening in the sunlight. The totem poles were also pretty cool, some of them were huge towering in the middle of the three storey stair well like an intricately carved erect penis. There was only an hour or so before the game so we went off in the direction of Jen's place. On the way we spotted a McDonalds, I was really, really hungry so went in and ordered two double cheeseburgers. Kevin only got one. We walked around a really picturesque part of the city, I think a lot of the surrounding buildings were part of the main university campus. One of the buildings has huge carved walls and very few windows, doesn't seem like a functional design but it looks great. We walked past the genetic or molecular research lab, something along those lines any ways. Its great for the future of medicine and I think they are planning to build one in London soon. We got to a car park around the corner from Jen's place. What timing it was, as soon as we got there, we saw Jim pulling up in his car and parking it. I couldn't wait to get into the now called 'Rogers Stadium' to watch the game. The last time I was here it was called the 'Sky Dome', not any more.
