Marc Chagall pictures are amazing we saw some more pictures but Marc Chagall was the best.

it.was.amazing. THE Capilano bridge felt like we were crossing a bridge in a remotes jungle, but fortunately we had to be careful there had been incidents in and near the bridge. it was just in June 6, 2010 that was when a high school student fell off the bridge and died. L

on our last day we spent an entire day at the science world and i loved how it was shaped as a globe and made me interact with myself and other thing with science a lot. ahhh, our trip is over and were going back to Thorold. hopefully we’ll go again but instead the world we’ll explore.

PICTURES AND MAPS:

Were at Yellowknife, it is a little cold out here so I talked with my family and were going to the Prince of Whales Northern Heritage Centre, which was my idea by the way. outside of the centre was a…very interesting building I personally think it’s no cool, since some of it looks like a barn but inside; it was very cool all the cool Inuit’s and lots of old materials from other tribes.

the next day it was a tough decision to go to the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre, but yet again I got paid green to go. the stage was massive and the weird thing was it’s in a school! we watched a show and it was amazing so I had to give the green back, since I liked it; I lost money for my coin collection. next were up to Vancouver and yet again we only spent two days in Yellowknife; were going to spend 3 days in Vancouver it has lots of interesting architecture and fascinating buildings.

the rest of my family wanted to go to the art gallery of Sudbury but I think I had enough of art, but they paid me green to go with them. the building is really old but it has some interesting pieces inside. we had to leave early because, we want to spend more time in Vancouver, I think personally that’s great it has lots of great things’ but first things first we have to go to Yellowknife.

TOURISM: Mont royal, the old architecture (4)

PICTURES AND MAPS:

So were at Montreal and it’s really fascinating in downtown, because of the old buildings there are. All the buildings are even better than St.Catharines downtown; they don’t have this fascinating architecture like Montreal. So we went shop in it besides looking and some stores are old and new they made it modern for more people. While we were shopping I saw the road and it really cool; it was all bricks for some of the downtown old Montreal, I’ve only seen these roads when I was in Pakistan.

The next day we went to Mont Royal and it is huge; it was a great climb and we saw parts of Montreal. It was great I saw some species of squirrels. I didn’t see a single industries traces or workers near there so it’s great to protect the land from evil business. I want to see my aunt’s friend but I didn’t have enough time so great ready Sudbury for a bomb.

PICTURES AND MAPS:

So we left from Thorold and we started our adventure to Halifax. It took us more than 20 hours to get there on car, nut it was great, since we drove in my dad’s luxurious car a Toyota sequoia; it was great. Our first stop was the Halifax Citadel site, one word; awesome! It was beautiful there, but the craziest was how it was shaped like a star.

On our next stop we went to the legendary Pier 21 it was very interesting how it was used and it was exactly like I read in my Geography class. My mom wanted to go to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia really badly so I went with her and it was amazing, all the pictures were Fascinating. so we left I’m going to miss Halifax, I still wanted to go to the Discovery Centre but we ran out of time next city; here we come Montreal.
