Business Trip to Calgary

 

 

 

Calgary is open for business as they say... and I was actually having quite some things to do over there. However I will spare you pictures of trucks and warehouses (actually not quite... the hot tub picture shows the local warehouse of one of the biggest supermarket chains in Canada, but you have to look close. And I couldn't refrain from taking some train pictures). But the vast majority of photos shows my evening sneak out tour to Banff to see the impressive Rocky Mountains scenery and then a city stroll the other day downtown. Why not follow me on this tour with me by clicking on the link:

Burlington Apple Fest

 

Johann and I took advantage of some beautiful fall weather to visit the Apple Fest in Burlington which takes place on the grounds of the Ireland House museum. It was really a fun event for the little ones, with music and dancing, old tractors and farm tools being displayed and all kinds of activities being offered, from pony riding to finding your way through a hay maze. More pictures here...

Ukrainian Festival

 

 

 

These pictures were taken at the Ukrainian festival on Bloor street: a weekend full celebration of all things Ukrainian: from treats such as pirogi, sausages and beer to traditional dancing and singing ...

Sleeping...?

Very true... not only Johann is sleeping here but also our blog was put to a long sleeping period. Promised, we're getting on it! A year has passed and there are plenty things to tell you about.
Stay tuned!

Labour Day Trip to Montreal & Ottawa

We wanted to take advantage of the long Labour Day weekend to get to know parts of Canada we had not visited before. And what better way then to head for the old economical and the actual constitutional capital?
Just follow us on the trip...

And one more year...

White Rock Ostrich Farm and Rockwood CA

One summer weekend outing led us on a "Safari trip" to White Rock Ostrich Farm, where we went on a tractor pulled wagon tour to see these impressive birds closer. All I can say is that they are not of a tender nature. The rest of day was spend in really beautiful Rockwood conservation area, sightseeing, Sandcastle building and hiking...
