I just had to..........



THE GNOME
hit up the Museum from the Rocky movies and get a pic in front of the Rocky statue.  We also ran into a family that stole a gnome from a trailer park and takes it around the States on there trips and takes pic of it in different places and after a year mails it back to the owner with the pics.  we took a pic with the gnome so somebody will have a pic of me and Ben.  The funny thing is this was the second time they family did it.  This was done on the movie Amelie (french film) and when i asked they never saw the movie but had the same idea.  I love life!!!!

Give me Liberty or Give me Death


Well I'm not dying for anyone so it had to be Liberty.  Anyways made it to the Liberty Bell.  I felt patriotic for the first time in my life......lol.  OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Pat's or Geno's-Cheese Steak Battle





We're in Philly and Ben and I head down to the Philly Cheese Steak epicenter.  First we hit up Pat's and he has directions on how to order a cheese steak.  He has been there since 1930 and it was delicious.  I had a cheese steak with onions and provolone cheese.  The meat was delicious but the bread was kind of hard.
Next stop Geno's, it has the Las Vegas flash with the huge sign and lights.  It has been there since 1966.  It was delicious also the bread was soft but the meat wasn't as seasoned as Pat's.  There wasn't a dramatic difference but if I had to decide I would put Pat's meat on Geno's bread! ;-)

Cheers Boston!!!






I made it back to Beantown and it was Ben's first time so i had to show him around.  That is pretty cool that i get to show around someone a city i'm not from.  Nevertheless we did the tourist stuff, newbury st, boyleston st and we went to Cheers....where everyone knows your name.   We also walked thru a beautiful park.

Niagara Falls






We are on our way back to the States and we headed over to the magnificent Niagara Falls.  It took me awhile to get here but I finally made it and it was well worth the wait.  Obviously we saw it on the Canadian side which was beautiful!  Next stop good ol' USA!

Toronto Tourist




Glass Floor

After recovering from a night of kicking it we decide to see some sights.  First stop Dundas square which is a super mini Times Square.  Next we hit up the CN Tower which is the tallest structure in the world.  The CN Tower has a glass floor so you can look 1,200 ft below and the only thing separating you is a sheet of glass!  Toronto is expensive with friendly people and clean.  I had a great time and i suggest you go with a lot of money and on the weekend so you can can party hard!

Toronto



We had some days off so Ben and I decide to hit up Canada.  It was a journey that started at midnight and didn't end until 7 pm.  After the Detroit show we tried to get into Canada from the Detroit side.  We sat in line for 3 hours waiting to get to customs and then we find out we couldn't get in because our trailer is commercial.  At that moment we became rejects and we had to turn around and go back to the states.  Once we got to the USA border Ben got a no match notice because there is a guy with the same name and birthday with a criminal record so we had to go into the office and go through some extra stuff.  We decide to drive under Lake Erie to Buffalo, drop the trailer and go to Toronto.  It only took 5 minutes to cross the border! Once we got to the city we had to find a hotel room and it was about 7 pm by the time we got into our room to take a shower and everything.  We got dressed and headed to Richmond st which was poppin.  It was raining and still poppin but the Canadians had to get out and kick it and the people are very nice.  We ended up at Tryst and met some cool people and had a great time.

MOTOWN- not the folks from motown ;-)



I had to do it!  I had to take a trip to where a piece of our history was laid!  It is amazing that this little building produced the greatest sounds the world will ever know.......I love my people!

DETROIT!!!!






I have lived 27 years and i finally made it to Detroit.  I was excited but not really.  I'm glad my tour paid for me to come cause this place is kind of depressing!  Nevertheless i had breakfast at the Tigers Field today and I kept singing Selfish by Slum Village feat. Kanye and John Legend I love that song.  Shout out to SV!!!
