Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Toronto

 

My partner Pat Cromie and I, and a gang of residents from Delmanor Retirement Residence, in Aurora, recently visited Medieval Times in downtown Toronto for dinner and a show.

I'd never seen this theatrical extravaganza before and I was mightily impressed.

The falcon pictured above was allowed to fly about the Medieval Times locale (the old Toronto Coliseum building) several  times just above our heads (within arms length, it seemed!).

This shows has been around for decades in many locations in the U.S., as well as Toronto.

Highly recommended!

There once was a turtle named Myrtle. 

who was a very fertile turtle, 

When her eggs she did lay, 

She was rumored to say,

"I shall never get over this hurdle!"

A Swainson's Hawk stretches its wings atop Delamanor Retirement Residence in Aurora, before heading out on its migration to south America for the winter.   May of these raptors have been hovering over and nesting in south-central Aurora's wooded areas for many months.
