Wonderland!


Last week, my school organized a sort of celebration due to the end of classes. The whole week, we did fun activities like historic boat trips and the zoo, but my favourite place was, without a doubt, Canada's Wonderland. It was my first time going to such a big amusement park and I was really excited because I LOVE rides that go either very fast, upside-down or even better, both! I can't say which of the rides I went on was the best, but I really liked the Dragon Fire (lots of loops), the Vortex (fast and furious), the Flight Deck (really high and upside down), and the Mighty Canadian Minebuster (sooo fast). Plus, there was the amazing cotton candy, a must-have for any trip to the fair! Hannah (my «Wonderland buddy») and I have decided to convince our families to take us back sometime during the summer, and this time we will conquer the Behemoth, the highest ride in the park!

Bells on Bloor


This year was my first time participating in the annual Bells on Bloor parade. This is a sort of protest to put bike lanes on Bloor street. Everyone brings a bike and a bell and rides down the street. There was a HUGE amount of people, all chanting and screaming at the same time. Some even brought trumpets and gongs that they hooked to their bikes. Dad made a video by attaching his tripod to his bicycle (mom was sure he would knock over some poor pedestrian). I will post it if he finishes editing before next year. Meanwhile, here is a picture!
