A memorable place


Last summer I fulfilled one of my dreams: I flew to Canada. It is a huge country, so I just visited British Columbia, Alberta and the Rockies. I learnt a lot about the first inhabitants of Canada (the native Indian people) and their handcrafts: the totems, which are usually an animal or other naturalistic figure that spiritually represents a group of related people such as a clan. I saw many of them in Vancouver.

I drove along the Rockies which let me come across some wild animals in different Canadian wildlife parks. I was lucky enough to find a Black Bear while I was driving. Although it is not allowed, I stopped my car and took some snaps of the bear. It was dangerous because it was free and there was no fence.But, it was amazing.
On my trip I could admire the forests, the wildlife and the lakes whose water is very special. Because of the diposit of the snow, the colour of the lakes in the Rockies is turquoise.
This is the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver. It stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. I have never walked on a wodden bridge so long. What a thrilling experience!!!. Can you find me?
