Olympia Tribute

Nobody can escape the Olympic media hype these days, but rather than focussing on the medals and who's going to win the most of them, there is a short presentation on Vancouver I would like to share with you.
The German news cast "heute.de" published this lovely story about the B.C. capital and its' inhabitants. Getting a local public hero like Michael Bublé on board certainly helps convincing us of the charm of the place, but you'll also smile about the interviewed "locals".
Like the slogan goes: "Canada, true North, strong and free" and I would add: "Happy and a little bit self-content"... But that's changing refreshingly from the I-like-to-complain-mentality of other countries.

Hike at Webster's Falls (Dundas, ON)

 

 


Last week-end we decided to go for a hike at Webster's Falls. Our guide ("Toronto's Fun places") highly recommended this place, especially in the winter. We head great sunshine with us (but as chilly as usual, around -6 to -8 C) and we were surprised seeing all the ice piling up around the rocks the water splashes on. Have a look at some more pictures....
