Wandering Toronto

Friday we woke up early... inadvertently.

I called BM and Mihshehl and we went with others to the Golden Griddle which all weekend was our place to eat and stuff our faces before going out anywhere else.

More people showed up on Friday and we had a large throng of people to hang out with. I think everyone was pretty much going to the Merrill collection but I was exhausted and so was Max. Mish didn't think she was going to go so we had a nice lunch at a place called "The Greek Isles" or as Mish called it later The "Geek" Isles.

While eating at the "Greek" isles, the Merrill group passed by and Mish ran out to meet them deciding to join the group after all. BM and myself walked back to the hotel and took some time to rest. Mish called us when she got back so we would have time to prepare for Laser Tag. It required we go down into the subways. Erithan and Dusante were going to be our guides.

The subway wasn't so much an ordeal as an adventure. I shadowed BM the whole way cause he seemed to know what the heck he was doing. LOL I"m so out of place in big cities so I just kept close to him and Mihshehl as much as possible. After what seemed a long time we got to the laser quest place. The guy seemed to know who we were and after getting about 30 cards to pass out the rest of our group showed up on the next bus and joined in.

It was fun playing laser tag. It was a slight bit different than the last place in Spokane mostly cause of the way they let us go and lastly because it was actually AIR CONDITIONED.  I was still hot and exhausted after from all the running around but it was fun. I got lost upstairs at one point and me and Scraper kept shooting each other. LOL That was fun. She kept accusing me of trying to knock her off as leader and I replied with "Well you are the leader and people always want to oust them."

I hit BM a few times and I think he may have gotten me. LOL It was absolute chaos. I couldn't see who anyone was till I heard them speak or else they got right in my face.  It was a load of fun.

I also took some pics of Scraper's roommate Pam's cigarettes. They had all these weird warnings and graphics on the Canadian cigs. Stuff like pics of preemie babies with warnings about premature births. Or else pics of people on respirators in a hospital dying and stuff about how it affects your health. It was just so weird compared to our "Cigarette smoking is bad for your health" slogans that don't take up but a small corner of the cigarette boxes.

After all the fun we headed back to the bus to get to the subway again. I had found an extra token and with that I managed to help M'lah get on the bus. She had somehow lost or forgotten to get another token so I was lucky I had found the extra one. After the subway trek back, we walked to the hotel and everyone split up for late dinners and hanging around.

It was a fun day filled with fun people and lots of traveling.

More to come soon...
