More new activities in the park, when will it end? Football, both kicking and throwing, and hop scotch are todays newbies. We never imagined the amount of entertainment we have gotten by just sitting on the deck and watching the world of activities in the park across the street. After our morning we headed off to the Aquarium. The official name is Ripley's Aquarium Canada but happily there was no Ripley style sensationalism inside the aquarium. The aquarium was a big draw and there were lots of families and big groups. At the first window we got crowded out so we started to cherry pick the tanks to go look at. If there was an opening we moved in, otherwise we would wait for an opening or move on. They had two really big tanks, the Ocean Predators tank and the coral reef tank. The Ocean Predator tank had a tunnel that the patrons could walk through. The tunnel has a slowly moving track on one side that was more like a luggage claim track than a moving sidewalk. It was moving so slow that we walked next to it on the non-moving side of the passage. Highlights include the sharks, rays, sawfish and turtles. After the Aquarium we had to do some domestic shopping. We went to Dollarama and got a broom, shower curtain, dishtowels and other such household items. After that we went to Loblaw's for dinner items. The fresh Dover Sole was the winner and therefore we were winners too!

It has been 55 days since we began our Migration.
