This is a sign of a very popular eafood restaurant about 2 blocks from my house. The lobster trap has been around for about 30 years. I have always been told that it is the best seafood in Ontario! Unfourtunatley on a Saturday night the restaurant is so busy you can't make reservations so you have to wait for at least 45 minutes to eat at the Seafood Tavern. Laura <3

Summary Paragraph Tim Hortons is a very good place to have lunch. Thy have, bagles, sandwiches, and soups. Tim Hortons was started by a famous Hockey player named Tim Horton3julia The Rosedale area is a beautiful area. All the trees are enormous and the houses are spectacular. There are also lots of busses and subway trains around so it is easy to go anywhere you want to. The Rosedale area is a very old part of Toronto and all the houses are made of brick. Some of the roads are cobblestone and the side walks are also made of brick. <3<3julia

My City
This is a picture of one of the most poular malls in Toronto, it is called the "Eaton Centre."This amazing mall has over 285 stores! Alothough the hours arent very long on holidays but the Eaton Centre is open everyday of the year, even christmas eve and christmas day. This picture is what it would proboably look like around christmas time. Laura <3

This is a picture of our city. the tall building in the back is the CN tower.It is the tallest free-standing building in not only Toronto but the whole world. The small little white building in front of the CN tower is the Rogers Centre. The Rogers Centre is a dome where they play football,baseball etc. Did you know that the Rogers Centre is the first buliding every to have a retracting roof? Laura <3 This, my friends, is the oh-so famous CN Tower. It is 553.33 metres tall, and is the tallest free-standing structure in the world. There is a glass elevater in the centre and the round thing in the middle is a restaurant. It spins around but so slowly you don't notice. It is truely an amazing structure but it the real thing never compairs to the picture! <3<3julia This is a ferry which takes you to the Toronto Islands. Usually, in grade 5 or six, you go on a field trip the the Island school. I believe it still is in use but it was pretty cool. We went there for 3 days and we played tag in the forrest. That was pretty cool! <3<3julia Summary Paragraph

This is a picture of our Canadian flag. A little history:Early in 1964, the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, informed the House of Commons of the government's desire to adopt a distinctive national flag for Canada.Each province has its own flag but the Canadian flag represents all of them. Laura <3

This is what Canadian money looks like now a days. The 5 dollar bill has a picture of Wilfred Laurier the country's first French-Canadian prime minister. The 10 dollar bill has a picture of John A. MacDonald our very first prime minister. The 20 dollar bill has a picture of Queen Elizabeth II she was the queen. The 50 dollar bill has a picture of William Lyon Mackenzie King he was the first mayor of Toronto. The 100 dollar bill has a picture of Robert Gordon was Prime Minister of Canada from 1911 to 1920.

This is a Picture of a really tall tree in Stanley Park. Stanley Park is in Vancouver British Colombia. It has some of the largest trees in Canada. I took a trip to B.C. and it was absolutly fabulous. If you are thinking about going on a trip, I HIGHLY recomend going to Vancouver. ps i took all the picture for Vancouver....i didnt copy <3<3julia This picture is a little blurry thanks to my photography skills but that i think, is the largest tree in Canada. It is absolutly MASIVE. that is a 13 year old boy hugging the tree and he doesn't get even an eighth around it. Yup, that is indeed, a very large tree. <3<3julia This Picture is also from Vancouver. We found this "mini waterfall" on the side of the highway when we were driving. That whole area around there was all rock. There might have been a volcanoe millions of years ago to make it this way, but I don't know for sure. You would not want to jump in there!! <3<3julia Yet again, this is another picture from Vancouver. When we went there, we went whale-watching. We saw humpback whales but we didn't get a very good picture of them. We also saw sea lions, harbour seals, and bald eagles. It was amazing. These are pictures of sea lions. They are huge animals and make an aweful barking sound. They were on a rock in a "herd". And the harbour seals were ADORABLE!! <3<3julia Summary Paragraph

Our little country is wonderful! We have a lot of beautiful places, some of themes are unknown by ourselves that’s why we go to give some images of our country: Serra do Gerês is a nice example. In another way we have too, some extraordinary work of architecture like the Palácio da Pena in Sintra.

Park of Nations is a nice place. We usually go to this park. This area offers a lot of different scenarios for our lazy times.
