Fun to watch

This week I watched several games of the beach volleyball tournament during the Canada Games hosted in Niagara. Two afternoons - in the hot sun - with the semi-finals men & women and the bronze and gold medal games were time well spent.

Nice to see Niagara College broadcasting students gaining practical experience during these sports events. And great to see fantastically skilled and disciplined under 18 soccer players from Quebec and Ontario in the gold medal game in the men's soccer.

Canada Games: Niagara 2022

The annual Canada Games - mostly for promising youth athletes - is hosted this year in the Niagara Region. The triathlon, beach volleyball and soccer are on my list to go watch some events during the coming two weeks. Mary is volunteering for the beach volleyball event. She got some nice gear and this jacket just fits me perfect.....

Toronto Island

The two week visit of Hilary (and one week together with Shayd) has already come and gone. 
 Nice weather, nice meals, and Hilary & Mary enjoyed a large Sangria in Chrystal Beach...


We brought Hilary and Poncho to the Toronto airport on a very early morning flight, and made it a day with our e-bikes along the Ontario Lake waterfront. We took the ferry to Toronto Island for a look around. The ferry boats are from the fifties and so are the lifejackets, but it gives the short boat ride of 15 minutes character (and the lake there is not very deep....)

A nice spot for a morning coffee on the island, and a bike ride along the boardwalk with views over the lake on a beautiful summer day.
