Maggie

We meet Maggie when we arrive to Canada in the school bus. She treated us very kind and friendly. Sometimes she make jokes for us to laugh. She cares us a lot, when we are outside the resident, in the bus or in the train; she will always be watching our back. Maggie is funny but when she has to get mad; she will be mad.

Maggie knows a lot such as the stops that we have to make. She knows almost all the places of Toronto. If you want a guide, I will sugest her.

Niagara Falls!

For this trip, we had to pass our night in other hotel of Ontario, so we had to pack all our clothes from our old room, because on this two day trip, others people will be using our rooms.
By the way, we left all our things in only one room. The good thing is that we will be going to Niagara Falls by a bus; we don't have to walk to take the TTC and we don't have any stops.

It was like 2 hours the trip and I felt asleep in the bus. When we arrived there, it has a great falls of water that looks amazing. We went to the ship called Maid of Mist. In the ship, I was the one that can take pictures of the falls, because I got my camera in a transparent Ziploc. There was blowing water to us and we had our hair all wet. We were going around the falls, but not through the falls.

After that we went to eat in Burger King, we spent like 1 hour there. Later we went to shop and then it was time to get back to the bus. Then we went to Skydome that the shape looks like the CN Tower but it is smaller. It is use to see the big falls of water. After that we went to the big malls in Ontario. We spent like two hour buying and at last we were going to the Hotel, wodering what would happend the next day.

CN Tower

At last, we were in the CN Tower, the one that I wanted to visit for a long time. As soon as we were there, the guide told us to wait outside, because there was a lot of groups that want to go up too. After 15 minutes outside, we went to form a large line to go to the elevator. It was so great inside the elevator; we were all excited. We can see a big view with a lot of buildings and cars; it was a beautiful view that we had to take pictures.
When we were up there, we can see a lot of people taking pictures of themselves. It felt pretty cool up there, because of the wind that was blowing. We even went to the section where you can see all the below through the hard glasses. It was a great experience to stepping there and looking below feeling like you are falling.
It is very good and we all enjoy it. Later we went down by the elevator. That's all for our visit of CN Tower.

Royal Ontario Museum



After we finish visiting Hockey Hall of Fame, we went right away to the ROM. When we arrive there, we realize that one of our group is not with us and we guess that she might be left at the Hockey Hall of Fame. We were so worry that we have to sent two people to look for her.

Then we should enter to the ROM, because it`s being to late.
So we are in the ROM, we divided into several groups. There was a lot of ancients stuffs of several countries such as China, India, Africa, Greese and others. We took a lot of pictures until my camera´s batteries died. We receive information of the people whose went to look for one of my group. They said that she already was on the train to go back to the resident. So we don´t have to worry about her.

The best of the ROM was the big skeleton of the big barosaurus.

Hall of Fame


It was so great to see the several masks of some famous hockey player. We took a lot of pictures of some masks and all the hockey balls that were stocked at the wall. There was a lot of posters of famous hockey players of the past and present; also a lot of t-shirts of all countries that play hockey. We also took pictures of ourself with the trophy.

Then we went to play a simple hockey game in which cost 2 dollars each try. You can chose to hit the targets or defeat the goalkeeper. I chose to defeat the goal keeper, because it seem more easy. So I got the hockey stick and made my first shoot, it was so difficult that I just got one point. One of my shot that make the ball to stuck on the corner side of the virtual screen. Now I know that playing hockey is not very easy as you can see. If I am bad in that game, it would be more difficult to play on the ice.

Wonderland!!!


This was the day that everyones were waiting for, but it was normal for me because I don't really like too much about the going to any roller coaster. Since I am affraid of height, I'm not going to ride the machine about height.

We must be on time at 8 o'clock and there we had to wait for around an hour, because we had to wait for others guys that also go the Wonderland. When all are ready and we are just about to board the school bus, it comes that we should sign a paper of security of live, if anythings happen to us. (Well, I hope that everyones can arrive to home safetly) Finally, we are in the bus at 9:30. On our way, there was three guys behind us that were talking and lauging loud that got us all awake.

It was amazing when we were in Wonderland. I saw a lot of people walking, running and screaming on their ride. Also the looks of the waterfall, mountain and the machines are awesome.
It was so cool that make us to try the first ride right away. It was so exiting the first ride when the ride was getting down. I felt like my heart was pumping out, but it was fun. Then we took another an easy one, later my friends want to make me ride The Drop Towel, the highest machine. At first, I refuse to go, but they insist that want to go in group, then I accept it.
It was a long line to form. It was our turn, I was to nervous sitting on a seat with my seat-belt well tight waiting to going up. When I was going up, I felt scare at the top, but It was a good view up there. It was the time to getting down; It was so fast that I should scream out loud and breath deeply to be calm. It was too fast and so cool that It makes me to go another time.


We stopped at game section that we have to pay to play the game and win a big doll. I've waste my 5 dollars on a game that seems easily and my others friend too. I though that with that money that we wasted, we also could buy a doll. We had waste most of our time on games that we got no chance to ride more than 5 rides.

It was lunch time and the food was very bad and the soda is the worst; it tasted like water with medicine. It was so bad that I can not finish my lunch. After lunch, it was time to go to our resident. We went back very tired and sleeepy.
