Our family always goes on a trip during the winter break, but this year apposed to the regular trip to Jamaica we decided to go adventure around Canada to try to learn more about our beloved country seeing as in my 14 years iv lived in Canada iv only seen Ontario. We started off in Newfoundland and stayed in the beautiful city of Corner Brook. When we arrived finally we stayed in the hotel Greenwood Corner Brook inn. I was quite anxious to see what we would do in the morning so sleep was at a minimum. The first day we decided to go skiing on Blow Me down Mountain this one of corner brooks most famous and largest mountains. To learn more about the city my family and I went to the Corner Brook museum, but that’s only after we had lunch of course after all that skiing we needed it. The museum was built in 1925 starting as a court room, post office, and telegram office. The museum taught me a lot about the aboriginal people history, marine history, and the social history of Newfoundland. The next morning was the day we got to meet the mayor Neville Greeley was his name he told us about the mayors before him such as Dave Luther in 1997–2001 and Charles Pender in 2005–2009. We ended or Newfoundland trip with a bang and went to Gros Morne Nationla Park to hike and sight see. The visionary was mesmerizing at the tops of Gros Mountain really feeling on top of the world looking down on the glissading frozen water was a whole new life experience.
