| OTTAWA |
I can’t believe I am back in Ottawa. It was such an experience to travel across Canada. It was fun to see all the new cities that I have never been to before and to experience all the fascinating cultures and landmarks. In Sudbury, I really liked the Big Nickel. If only I could have taken it home, I would be stinking rich! The ice slides at the Bon Soo Winter Carnival in Sault Ste. Marie were exciting. It was cold and I almost had a big wipeout but it was still worth it. The Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay was cool. I wondered why he was so tired. Maybe he needed to rest up for his job in the morning. Passing by the snowy flat plains of the Regina wheat farms made me realize how diverse Canada really is. In Winnipeg, I felt like a high roller, partying and gambling was a lot of fun! Finally it was fascinating to be in the big city of Vancouver. The First Nations artwork that we saw at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Inuit Art Gallery was beautiful and the totem poles at the Museum of Anthropology were so amazing. I am glad that we live in such a cool country that has so many different landscapes and cultures. I think this proves that Canada is not so boring after all!
