I loved my trip across Canada but was really sad that it had to end. I loved catching up with my friends and having all of the wonderful experiences that I did, but time was up and it was all over. I saw some great thing's over my times in different cities and will always remember the moments that I had. I hope that there will come another day that I can go back and do a roadtrip similar to this one. I have to say I have never heard an arena as loud as I heard the two on this trip.

It was really cool to travel around in a Toyota Corolla the whole time. Some of my favourite parts of the trip were when I got to be with nature and see our really natural parts of nature. It was also great to be able to see the locals and different cultures come together to be one cities. It was an honestly wonderful trip and I was really glad that you were able to read all about it.

 It was the first day in Vancouver and I would not be able to see Shaggy and Velma until tommorow. So I decided to see the Vancouver Convention Centre. I had to book my tour three days ahead just to get in. They made the place to be as green as possible and it was amazing. My favourite part was the grass on the roof. You don't see stuff like that back home. Staying in the green mood I decided to go downtown to get a veggie burger. While downtown I noticed the Vancouver Aquarium and since I love fish I decided to go in. The fish were beautiful colours and looked amazing swimming through the water. After that I was really tired and decided to hi the hay.

It was day two in vancouver and I was excited to see Shaggy and Velma, but sad it was my last day on the trip. I met up with my friends at a coffee shop and we just caught up. Before we knew it half of the day was gone. Instead of cramming in a bunch of thing's we decided to really just cherish one. We went to the Olympic village. It brought back memories, like Sidney Crosby's golden goal and our first gold medal. After this I was sad but the trip was over and I had to head back home.

I was amazed when I finally arrived in Edmonton. I was excited, obviously because I was only one stop away to seeing my friends Shaggy and Velma, but also because I have heard so much about the West Edmonton Mall. I was originally going to go to the mall on my second day in Edmonton, but I was bursting with excitement, so I didn’t wait another second. Right when I walked into the mall, I decided to go to the waterpark. After spending an hour riding some of the best slides I have ever seen, I went shopping. They have hundreds of stores to choose from(I’m happy I didn’t bring my mom). After buying what felt like an entirely new wardrobe (at least that’s what my credit card said), I decided that it was time to visit the Telus World of science. It was unbelievable to see some of the things you can do with science. My favourite part was definitely was the environment gallery. After that I grabbed some grub at a diner that I heard some of the locals talking about. The food there was divine. I finally checked in to my cozy little hotel and watched a Scooby Doo marathon. Couldn’t wait for the next day to come.

It was day two in Edmonton and I decided that another hockey game would be a lot of fun. I called up Adam Sandler again and asked for another favour. Of course he still owes me from when I saved him from the sharks in Chile. Anyways, this time he was able to score me some great box tickets right next to Wayne Gretzky. I arrived at Rexall Place, which if you didn’t know it is the third oldest arena in the NHL. I enjoyed a great game with the Oilers edging out their opponents 3-2 in triple overtime. Since the game went on so long I was only going to make it to one more place that I wanted to see in Edmonton. I decided that since I have seen so many different types of art it would be good to see yet another. For this reason I went to Citadel Theatre and saw “A Christmas Carol”. The actors really brought the play to life. After the play I ate dinner with a few of my old time friends from University and then got ready for Vancouver.
