Hi all together! Andreas and me are in wonderful Canada at the moment, this is our last stop before going home, and we would like to show you some pics from the 3 citys we have been to so far!

We startet in Toronto, Canadas biggest city. Proceede to Ottawa, thats the official capital, and are now in Montreal, wich is in the state of Quebec, where the official language is french!


In a Canadian library


City center of Toronto, the old town hall infront of the downtown


like real canadians, we had to visit a ice hockey game! our toronto marlies lost 5:1 against manitoba


but we had fun anyway !


The CN tower, the highest free standing building in the world


visiting the steam wistle brewery =)




Next stop is the city of Ottawa, famous for its great architecture....



This is taken from the museum of arts (theres the spider from) onto the arcbishops church


In the senate of canada


parlament hill. Ottawa is full of castle like buildings, that house the government, very pretty. All the city was buid like that, when Queen victoria decided, that kingston in the south is to close to the US border to be canadas capital. She made ottawa, that was a tiny unimportant town until that, the new capital to be safe of US attacks. You see in the gap on the left, the beginnings of a canal, that goes 200km to kingston and lake ontario, to have a fast military transport way - it was never used.


In the great museum of the town, we learned about the natives culture


they rebuilded a whole traditional village in there.

Montreal. The only bilingual city in north america, speaks primary french, but it seems that everybody speaks a proper english as well. It was a lot of trouble in history about who owns wich part of canada, in the end the british won, but the french kept there influence in quebec.






The NewYokLife building was the first skyscraper, now looking small beside the new ones


On the harberfront at St Lawrence river, they are having a large public area, half park, half walkway.


One of the quays, in the backround is the white clocktower, a memory for the fallens of WW1


On the place d'armes is the curch of notre dame


The whole impressive church.


we solarnetted the plaza....


and tried to fit in the lokal culture by trying out french hats in a mall

Hope you like Canada aswell, our next stop is Quebec city... more french! After that we will go south-west in ontario, to work on a farm close to lake erie.

cu next time
