Back to Canada!!

Hello fellows,

after many troubles with the immigration lasted almost 3 hours in the border, I’m back and active in Canada.
I arrived yesterday and in the very same day the first snow fell. And it was what I’ve been waited for so long .
I am going to post several pics of the first snow, this is the second day it snows, and I hope it is going to remain. In fact I am looking forward to start snowboarding, building up forts, castles and quinzees (see picture below). I’ve already planned many things to try to do with the snow. Last year it has been a ‘baby winter’ (as we called it), in fact it wasn’t that cold.

I anyone has any suggestion or cool ideas about what to do during winter time and with snow and ice, I would appreciate any conseil

Enjoy, peace and happy halloween.

Ottawa Tour

Hello fellows,

I have been busy lately, and I could not update my blog. But today I kinda found time to dedicate to the weblog.

Last weekend I went, with some friend, in Ottawa. We mostly wandered around the city, but afterwards we went to a museum. It was about Canadian Natives and their relationships with the newcomers from Europe. It was really nice, because they also had jokes the Natives are used to tell and surprisedly some of them were funny even nowadays.
A good joke was something like this:

Two women are in a car, driving. One is driving and one is siting behind. The woman behind asks the other one what is she keeping in the front seat. The other replies ‘There is a bottle of liquor. I got it for my husband”.
The other woman remains silent and then replies “Good deal”.

It was kinda funny. Probably it has been modernized, since they put the scene in a car. The joke makes sense, since in their culture, the women had power as mush as the men. In fact both were strong, but in different fields.

Before the visit to the museum, we went to a candy shop called ‘Sugar Mountain’. I bought so many things… I almost died trying to eat them all at home. I still have the jawbreaker, but I am not that brave/stupid for now XD.

While going around we also met several street performers.
