What we saw in Canada
My cousin and I traveled across Canada by train from west to east.We saw many things from the train on the way across,and in the cities of Toronto and Montreal.Some of the most important and interesting things that we saw are included in this report.
We passed through the Rocky Mountains on the train,and saw wild scenery,a grizzly bear and some mountain goats.Canada is very empty in the center,which is a wheat-growing area.The city of Thunder Bay is a port in the center of Canada.Ocean ships can come all the way to the top of the Great Lakes.
In Toronto,we went up the CN Tower and saw the mist from Niagara Falls.We visited the covered stadium,which is the home of the famous basketball team.We saw Chinatown and had dinner at the Pink Pearl Restaurant.
When we arrived in Montreal the next day,we saw many signs and ads in French.Then we went to the Old Montreal and sat in a typical cafe beside the St.Lawrence River.We spent the afternoon in shops and visiting artists in their workplaces.
There is so much to see and do in Canada on one trip.We saw only a few things,but we think we would like to go back for another visit.
