1 year birthday

That's what summer does to you.. being outside, enjoying the weather and no time to update our blog. We have been travelling quite a bit, mostly trips in the weekends, like to Lake Placid (NY, USA) and Timmins, Northern Ontario. We have been seeing friends, played floorball, soccer and a lot of golf.

It's this week a year since we moved to Canada and we don't regret it all. We have been loving every single day of this adventure.

Unfortunately our little laptop with our pictures on it, is not working. So, I am not able to add any pictures to this post. I hope to get the laptop fixed soon and then I will post the pictures of our trips.

Staff outing

Last Friday we had a staff outing with the Consulate. We left early in the morning with the bus to Hamilton, ON, to the African Lion Safari park. We had a bus tour through the safari park, where we saw lions, cheetas, giraffes, baboons and many other animals. In the end we even saw the bathing of the Asian elephants.

After a nice lunch at the Cambridge Mill we went to the Rockwood Conservation area. It's only about 40 km from Toronto and it feels like you are somewhere up north in the Muskokas. First we rented kanoes and let's say not everyone stayed dry ;) There were beautiful ruins and scenes to be seen. After the kanoe trip we went hiking. We saw an old mill and took some group pictures.

After all these activities we were hungry againa nd our day ended at Joey's, a nice grill restaurant where we had a delicious dinner. At the same time we said goodbye to our Deputy Consul General, who will be transferred to Brazil.
