【USA1】

　After Toronto, we headed to Newark, New Jersey on Air Canada. That flight was nice, because it was in the same zone, but there was a one hour delay. Around 3PM, we checked in to our hotel in New York, near Penn station. In the evening, we went to Brooklyn, south of Manhattan by NYC subway. There is the home stadium of a minor baseball team, the single A, team the Brooklyn Cyclones who are affiliated with the New York Mets. I like to watch baseball in the USA and also minor league baseball games, because the tickets are very reasonable, the atmosphere is very relaxed and up close personal. We enjoyed watching the young guys play and the local beer there.

【Canada】

　We traveled to Canada and the USA for sightseeing during our summer vacation. We watched four baseball games at four different ballparks in five days!
　We left Japan on the 9th of August at night from Kansai airport and changed airplanes in Taipei. Around 8 PM the same day, we landed at Vancouver airport in Canada. On the next day, we headed to Toronto by Air Canada. It was a very nice town, because the weather was comfortable, the views were beautiful and the downtown was clean. We enjoyed shopping, canoeing and watching a major league baseball game, Blue Jays versus Cubs there. We stayed in Toronto for two nights and the hotel was super expensive, however the room was comfortable, breakfast was amazing and the location was very convenient. We had good stay there.

【Ayu fish】

　We went to Motosu town in Gifu prefecture by car. I drove there in just two hours and it was a one day trip. We had lunch in Ayu fish restaurant riverside. The Ayu fish lives in small clear rocky bottomed rivers and streams. In Japan it is more popular than trout. I like Ayu that is salted and grilled over charcoal. We enjoyed the fish prepared many different ways: grilled, fried raw and steamed with rice. Summer is the best season for Ayu and you can enjoy them until October. I want to go there again this season.
