Guelph Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Hannah finds a friend

17th July 2008 We arrived back in Guelph about 6-30am having driven all night in shifts from Detrioit airport. Managed to get up again about 9-30am and try to get ourselves sorted out for the next stage of our trip. Richard and Amy had lots to sort out including washing and packing for their trip to Halifax. We could also catch up with the blogs we had not yet posted. The late night early morning had resulted in our photographer (Dinah) getting a migraine so we are short of pictures to use on our blog today. Went to the red brick [View Full Entry]

18th July 2008 Today we had a bit of a lie in until 7-30am, even the children slept until then. After some breakfast I took Amy and Richard to Hamilton Airport to catch a plane to Halifax. They are off to explore places they have not yet visited. We decided to take the children back to their own house in Toronto as they have their own beds and toys there. It was very hot and humid still and it was almost a pleasure to get into the car and put the air conditioning on. We did not have a chance to [View Full Entry]

The fountain in Guelph

24th June 2008 Got up early (6am) mainly because it felt like midday. Amy went out for a run and left me talking to the neighbours at 6-30am in the morning. Mike and Sue had depleted the tea bag stock with their visit to Amy so have had to go to shops for essentials like tea bags, bread and milk. Dinah still feeling a bit delicate after her migraine of the last two days and so an easy day was called for. Amy went off to school and left Dinah and me with a list of jobs to do. Before the [View Full Entry]

Back Home

North America » Canada » Ontario » Guelph

Just a quick entry to let everybody who bothers (takes the time) to read my travel blog. I'm back home in Guelph now, all safe and sound. After 38 hrs of sleepless travel, my Thailand adventure has come to a close. Nice place to visit, would definately go back, don't think I'd want to live there. Sorry Santollini, I didn't manage to bring back a giant zippo. They were everywhere, but as soon as you asked, I couldn't find one. Probably wouldn't have fit in my luggage anyway. So this concludes my travel blog. Thanks for reading. Goodnight. [View Full Entry]
