B.C- Burnaby

It was the last day! One more great adventure then it was back to home plate Ontario. We ended are voyage in Burnaby British Columbia, It was a beautiful place lush forests on one hand and tall glass commercialized buildings on the other. We ate at the Burnaby Hart house in Deer Lake. They had a divine selection of sea food and im not big on sea food but there lobster could convert me to a pescetarian any day. After that very fulfilling lunch we headed over to Burnaby lake regional national park to maybe get some walking done. We had heard that it had a great vast selection of birds but due to there migration that was an experience that would have to be missed. But don’t get me wrong we were still very impressed The trees seemed as tall as the C.N tower covered in snow like white sky scrapers, it was silent and all to hear was the sound of  all are feet crunching in the snow and the occasional visit for the buffalos which up  until now I had ever seen in person. Large but very creatures I must admit. To end the day we went ot Burnaby village museum to get some last minute knowledge. The museum was a reincarnation of the early stages of Burnaby it was almost like we were transported back to 1920. On our drive back to Ontario all I could think about was how lucky I felt I got to brave the highest mountains of Newfoundland, Get over my fear or reptiles, talk with a real mayor, see an astounding exhibit and make my own maple sugar all with my family life doesn’t get much better then that. This experience has been life changing and I posted this blog to hopefully encourage you to really look at Canada in a new glorious perspective I know I  sure do.

  1. Fantastische Idee mit der fliegenden Schildgröte an der Wand. Kinder lieben Phantasie und Monsters, wie dieses zum Beispiel http://WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-6WHKQP von Max Ernst, was vielleicht für einige Kinder noch zu schrecklich ist. Aber dafür gibt es ja noch eine grosse Auswahl bei WahooArt.com wo sie zwischen soviel schönen Kindermotiven auswählen können. Und dann lassen Sie es sich einfach rund um den Globus liefern.
