long weekend in Ontario

Hi there,


after a long weekend with nice entertainment progamme I will share my experiences with you...
On Saturday we planned to leave for Buffalo (US) to go shopping. Unfortuneatly some more Canadians had the same idea...on a long weekend, so we shortened the programme and visited the NIAGARA FALLS, I didn´t see before. After finishing our "touri-programme" on Saturday we enjoyed the sun as a usual Torontonian on Sunday.

We were riding our bicicles to the Thommy Thomson Park: it is located on a man-made peninsula that extends five kilometres into Lake Ontario. One of the most significant features of the park is the colonization and succession of various plant communities. These wetlands, meadows and forests now support many threatened and unusual species. Nature pure: and we saw our first beaver - the national animal of Canada (no, it´s not the bear).


On Sunday evening we were invited to a barbeque at Eike´s and Kathi´s place. It was very nice to enjoy such a wonderful evening with nice people (approx. 10 Germans and 3 Canadians)! So we have some new friends here in Toronto and that´s a good feeling!!! :-)
