Wow ... time flies when you're having fun! I've been driving some longer trips, to the detriment of this blog, so it's time to do some updating, if briefly, on where I've been.

Yesterday (Saturday, July 31st) I drove for a company tour to "The Lion King" Broadway musical at the New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street in New York City, NY. It was very warm in the city, but I found my favorite parking space by the Lincoln Center on 62nd street unoccupied, and spent the day in the public library there, working online.

Thursday, July 29, I returned home from a five day trip to Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Niagara Falls. I drove for a summer camp trip with high school age kids. We stayed at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel on the waterfront in Toronto -- a beautiful hotel. Stops in Toronto included BCE Place, the Hockey Hall of Fame, a Bluejays game at the Skydome (photo above left), Canada's Wonderland, and the Playdium in Mississauga, ON. We concluded the trip with a day in Niagara Falls, including a jet boat ride at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Maid of the Mist, and breakfast in the Skylon Tower (photo of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, above right, was taken from the Skylon Tower).

And I get to do it all over again this coming week, starting tomorrow, for another teen camp. They'll be visiting many of the same locations, so I'll post more photos next week.
