Toronto Ontario Canada - Great to be back

 

























Great to get back to Toronto.  Last visit was December 2019 and then 2020 happened.  

Beautiful day and wandered some familiar and some new to get things started. 

Working on getting the Covid rules completed - thought I had it all done, but another email says NO.

Joliet IL - wander back to the train to head on home

 









After several sunny days a bit of grey and rain settled in.  Cooled the temperature but upped the humidity.  Had to wander back to the train to head in to the city to catch the el train and then fly on back to Saint Paul.  

As it happened, the train stops right in front of the White Sox baseball stadium.  And so it was a busy and full train as it headed for the Sunday game....and they were all talking Sox and Twins - especially after the huge blow out the night before.  

Turns out the massive structure in the picture is a high school and most likely designed by the same guy that designed the house that hosted the wedding yesterday.  

Joliet IL - The walk home






Sometimes you just have to cross the street to see something new.  

After a lovely evening celebrating the wedding, I wandered the short trip back and from the other side of the road caught some great visuals. 

Joliet IL - The wedding, the walk and the party























The events started at a striking beautiful old church.  And after a long break I wandered across the Des Plaines River to the party.  And the celebration was in an old an wonderful mansion with one huge addition surrounded by lovely gardens.  A great day well in to the evening.
