The Baseball GAME!!!!!!

Last night/yesterday afternoon we went to Detroit to see the Tigers play Cleveland (the Tigets beat them easily). There is a 'special' bus (for special people???) that goes directly from Windsor to the stadium and then at the end, it takes you straight back to Windsor.....but of course you have to take your passport - it's only a 20 minute journey but at the border you have to get off, go through customs and then get back on the bus....the Amercian customs guards are not very nice....they ask loads of questions and seem very suspicious etc but the canadian ones are so friendly!!!! The stadium was fantastic....it was so strange being in a stadium in the city centre....it was boiling hot (at least 35') but fortunately our seats were in the shade. There is a sort of party atmosphere in the whole stadium....loads of families, groups of girls, old people....all sorts......and there is some sort of entertainment all the time ( we also had the additional Warren entertainment of course!!!). During the game people would be walking around getting beer, hot dogs, nachos etc (it was like the films) and then at the end of the game there was a mega fireworks display (only on Fridays in the summer) - then no hassle to get out of the stadium and back on the bus! A Friday night in Detroit!

 
Wherever we go in the world we ALWAYS find a place called Leo's!!
