Destination 5; Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada
January 9, 2011
I'm here in Nanaimo, British Columbia. With a 78,692 population, this is city is well known on Vancouver Island as the Bathtub Racing Capital in the World! The closest park is Cowichan River Provincial Park. This place is so much fun! By far, the best out of every place I went to on my trip.
My family and I went on a long boat ride, a cruise I suppose. It was cold, but nice. Later on we went for a car ride around the mountains, and took lots of pictures of them. The city is filled with fun stuff to do. In our hotel there was a pool, so I went swimming. Down the street was an arcade, which we also went to! This place is great, enough industry to make me happy and lots of pretty sites to admire or paint.
I would most deffinatly come back, maybe even live here. The weather isn't too bad, it's actually warmer here then anywhere else I've been. Normally it's around 3 C. I like it!
I don't want to write much, seeing as I'm leaving to St Catharines in a half hour. The one thing I liked the best about Nanaimo was the bakeries! The nanaimo bars here are DELICIOUS! Well, I should head off. Here's some information and pictures!

Destination 4; Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada
January 6th, 2011
I'm here in Fort Saskatchewan, a city of 18,653 people. There's alot of sheep type things here. It's cute, their maskot is a sheep named Auggie! I was told on our tour that 50 wild sheep roam the city in the summer. That's so unique.
It's pretty cold here, normally -13 C. At night it gets even colder, it sucks. Besides the cold it's really fun here though! Something else I found interesting is, we're not in an actual ecozone. We're in a transition zone, changing from Prairies to Boreal Shield. If you had to have one answer, I would say we're in the Prairies, seeing as we're at the edge of it. There's alot of flat lands, but also alot of trees! When I say alot, I mean it. There's also mountains, and plenty of water! About an hour or more away is Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park. This place is full of nature!
My family and I went for a drive, and saw mountains and deer, and rabbits! It was so beautiful. In the city part it was like a normal city, stores, restaraunts, etc. We had alot of fun, It was real relaxing. I could sit and paint pictures of it here all day, and wouldn't get bored. I'm heading off to my last destination in about an hour, so I should go get ready. See you later, I'm hittin' Nanaimo of British Columbia!

Destination 3; Nobleville, Saskatchewan, Canada
January 3, 2011
My new years was amazing. There's no doubt about it! We sung right after the clock hit midnight, and celebrated the great new years by first, sharing our resolutions to everyone, and then using those confetti shooters! The ground was covered in confetti, but it was so much fun. My new years resolution was to make better choices in my life. I think I'm already on that, because it was a good choice coming here to Nobleville, Saskatchewan!
Here, at Latitude 52.433333, and Longitude -103.617222, I'm in a very small town that was once just a church, a store and a post office. Now ofcourse it has transformed into a neighbourhood, where most attend Roman Catholic Church. Not too far from here is Green Water Lake Provincial Park. It's really small here, I'm not sure on the amount of people who live here. But deffinatly not over 2000! I would think, seeing as it's mostly farms and such.
I must admit, this wasn't my favorite destination, there wasn't much to do. We're in the Prairies, it's just flat land, so clearly there's not alot to do. But there's alot of horse's, which we got to ride on! It was so much fun, I've never actually been on a horse. I've been on a Donkey... if that even counts.
It's really cold here, and windy. That's okay though, I dressed warm! I'm heading off soon, going to leave to visit Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta. Strange, eh? Here's some more information, and few photos of my trip!

Destination 2; Huntsville, Ontario, Canada
December 31st, 2010
An hour until midnight! I decided to write on my blog now, because I'm going to be too tired to write tomorrow morning when we leave. It's 11:00pm, I'm in Huntsville, Ontario staying at my Grandma Verna's. My family is outside, having a fire near the cannel thats in the backyard! It's pretty neat, there's a deck that you can go fishing off, right in her own back yard. Down the street there's the locks, and a big green bridge.
Downtown Huntsville is really neat, there are shops that are beside the water and you can walk on a deck down them. Most of the tourist stores are full of nature stuff. Like sweaters with animals on it, or home made crafts. It's not all unique like that though, because they do indeed have Mc Donalds here!
Huntsville has a population of 18, 280. It seems like alot, but when you're there it doesn't seem like anyone even lives there. There are alot of farms, and forests, and swamps! Huntsville is in the Mix Wood Plain's ecozone, so it's like St Catharines temperature wise too! Except there's alot more snow, better for playing in.
There are two parks close by, The Algonquin Park, and The Massasauga Provincial Park! There are some mountains here, it's rather nice. Infact, there's this huge tower on top of a mountain that you can go up. It was used to spot out fires, it's really all, I'd know, I climbed it! Unfortunatly, I can't write much more, it's almost 2011, I'm going to go join my family! Happy new years, I hope you make a good New Years Resolution, if any at all.
Here is some more fun information, and a few pictures! Next stop, Nobleville, Saskatchewan!

It was a long day and a half drive, but it was deffinatly worth it. I'm staying at a motel in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. Unfortunatly I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I'll miss this place, I had a great time! I thought it would be really cold here, but it wasn't much different then it is at home in St Catharines, Ontario. There's snow on the ground, not too much, not too little. The temperatures stayed at an average -7 C, so it wasn't too bad.
My family and I went for a drive, down a really long road. Down the road we saw alot of pretty sites. There was lots of fields and mountains, and behind those fields and mountains you could see water, lots of it! It was gorgeous. The snow glistened, and on the other side of the road, you could look far out and see lots of trees. If you were lucky, you could see deer and such.

Further down the road, we went over a neat historic bridge. I have never seen one like it. There isn't alot of people here, only about 3000, but it's nice. It's very peaceful, there's not alot of industry so it makes this place feel welcoming. Not all scary and packed like Toronto, Ontario makes you feel! You know what else I like? The fact there's alot of historic monuments. Statues of soldiers, people, etc. All with plaques describing their purpose.
About an hour away is a place called "Butter Pot Provincial Park". It looks like everywhere else, full of trees and fields, instead there aren't any people living there! It's really nice. A few roads down from our motel, is this cute restaurant full of home made goodies! There aren't alot of stores, like I said, it's a small city. There's good fishing though! We fished alot, it was fun. We also whale watched, that's something I've never done before! It was cool, whale's are bigger then I thought. Bigger then the one's at Marine Land!
Deffinatly suggest you to visit here, it was great! Also, just for fun, I researched some stuff about this place! Latitude = 47.6855, Longitude = -53.2414
