Canada Day 8/ Science Center
 

Day 7 was a rest day

O
ne of the last days that we spent in Toronto was going to the Science Center. The Science Center was huge and had four floors that you could explore. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the science center since I never did any good with science. I thought that it was mostly boring but I also knew that my Dad wanted to go back there. So of course we went. It was the only place where we had to actually drive to the place since there was no public transportation that had access to the science center. So we go there and enter in this big building. We walk down this hall with all kinds of information and once you’re through the hallway you come out to this big space filled with people in lab coats. They are all friendly and say hello to you immediately. I was slightly thrown off but, that’s ok, sometimes the unexpected is nice. 

AS we explored the areas we came to a lot of interactive games. One was about quick thinking and skills. You had to basically survive going up Mount Everest and make decisions based on what you would do in that situation. I died...twice...BUT my dad actually survived. goes to show that he is smarter sometimes. 

There was other cool stuff to that they had around. They had this machine that read your pulse and made colors based on how high or low your pulse is and if you get four people to participate then it shows all four colors. They also had a machine where you get to interrogate a friend of yours and then watch the video play back, once you watch the video you can see the indicators on if that friend  was lying or not and point it out to them. 

I think the cool part was the area where you could touch the walls and make different musical beats. The idea was to make a soundtrack that was nice to dance to and I really enjoyed the set up itself. It was just so darn cool. 

Really most of it was still in the process of being set up and we blazed through it. I thought maybe there was more to the area and I was very pleased that it was mostly interactive. Of course it had changed a lot since the last time my dad had been there but all in all we had a nice time. 

Afterwards we went to a nice place that we went to the day before. It was called Migilligans and they had a nice bar and wonderful food. The people there were wonderful and they remembered us from the day before. They served us wonderful beverages and introduced me to new types of vodka drinks and a coffee with a nice amount of rum. We even had a nice chat with the bartender and our waitress and she gave us some insight on where she had been and the wildlife she had seen. I loved that place a lot and I know that when I go back to Canada I will be paying that place a visit for sure. 

Most of the night was spent with us drinking and just kicking it back for the day. WE had ran that morning so we were having one of our last bad days before we had to head back home. Plus where we were going they didn't serve alcohol at the street corner where you could walk in and hey a bar! No next we were going to a state park so we really cracked down on food and beverages. 

It was a nice day well spent and I can tell you that both of us slept like rocks that night.
