Sudbury (2007/05/26-2007/05/27)


Camp Bison.

Wakefield/Chelsea (2007/06/09)

The Chelsea steam engine is something I've always been curious about, but tickets to get on are usually quite expensive and the trip itself is a bit frivolous. Sounds fun anyway!

 

But I've never taken... read more...

Toronto (2007/05/24-2007/05/26)


Another cellphone video I shot from inside a train

 

I would say that it was for the better that plan "drive-to-Toronto-on-hwy -7-in-a-rented-Cadillac" turned into plan "take the train to Toronto... read more...

Banff (2007/02/25)


En route to Banff

 

Driving to Banff was really amazing. I don't understand how any Albertan can ever get sick of going through those mountains. I was in perpetual awe. We came pretty close to some mountain... read more...

Québec City (2007/01/27)

Québec City, like Winnipeg, was very cold but who are we kidding? This is Canada in January. Québec City was rad. My activities did not find me straying very far from le Vieux-Québec where le Carnaval... read more...

Winnipeg (2007/01/13)

The weather was colder than 30 below, but the sun was out and the winds weren't bad. I spent nearly the whole day outside and on foot. I was dressed for it, but I was terrified that something awful would... read more...
