Giraffes!!!

Last night we went to the Toronto Street Festival. We took the subway down to Lawrence Street. There wasn't much going on there except a small singing competition called Toronto Pop Idol. Yes, Jody in Canada they have Canadian Idol, but their host is no Ryan Seacrest! We had a hotdog and homemade fries because we were dissappointed that the Taste of Lawrence wasn't exactly located on Lawrence street. It was very far east and we wouldn't have had time to get there and then go see the Giraffes.

We jumped back on the subway and traveled to Dundas Street. It was a zoo. There were gobs of people everywhere. They had these two guys building sandcastles.

We had an hour to kill so we decided to see if we could find the lake. We walked to the end of Yonge street and after a little searching we located it. It wasn't very obvious to find. They had a little boardwalk, but no beach. It's no Lake Michigan for sure.

We trucked it back to the square to wait for the Les Giraffe Urban Operetta. It was rather creepy and a lot of it was in French I think which made it hard to follow. They had these huge giraffes that were red and were manned by 2 people that were sitting on a tripod inside of the giraffe.




The men had stilts on their legs and the front man controlled the head w/ 2 wires. They walked through the crowd which forced the people to move around chaoticly in order to avoid being trampled. It made me a little nervous. Once they got to center stage the ring master would put rings of fire around their necks. I saw it all ending badly in my head: the giraffes could catch on fire and the people would stampede in order to save themselves. Luckily this did not happen. After watching for some time we decided to catch the subway and go home to avoid the mob of people.


We went to church this morning at Bayview Glenn, the church we tried once before. We like it. Afterwards we decided to go for a "Sunday Drive" and ended up at a new mall we have never been to before. We also decided to see a movie. We saw Bewitched with Will Ferrel and Nicole Kidman. It was pretty funny. I'd give it about 2 stars. It's rentable. Anyway, that's about it for now. Jordan is taking a nap because we stayed up until around 4 last night. Our schedule is so off b/c of his job. He usually gets home at 1 a.m. and then we stay up for awhile. We usually sleep in late, but this morning we went to church at 9:15 so we couldn't. I'm going to make dinner now which will be pork chops. Yum....wish we had a grill to cook them on, but the stove will have to do. Adios.
