Here we are in Saskatoon! After arriving, Cheyenne immediately dragged me to the Delta Bessborough Hotel to make reservations there. I gotta say, it was definitely one of the best hotels I've been in! And we could see the Canadian National Railway right outside our hotel room! We also went and walked through the Meewasin Valley Trail, except Cheyenne got tired after the first ten minutes of walking so we turned back. Still, the sights we did see there were exquisite! On our second day, we spent most of the time at the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo. All the animals were so cute! I wish I could have taken them home!

Anyway, that's all for now folks! See you next time, when we're in Edmonton, Alberta!

   We made it to Montreal! Everything around us was so vintage looking and beautiful, especially the shops on Boulevard Saint-Laurent! After our shopping trip, Cheyenne and I visited the Jean-Talon and Atwater markets, and oh my goodness, it was like food heaven! They had everything from fruits to gourmet pizzas to pork spreads! I could hardly believe my eyes!

    That's about it this time! Off we go to Saskatoon! C:

Our first stop on our journey was Halifax! The weather was lovely the whole time we were here! Cheyenne and I had the chance to go to the Kejimkujik National Park on the first day here, and man, was it beautiful! There was so much wildlife, and lots of rivers and lakes! I would have loved to have canoed down one of them! On the second day, we visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and some of the artifacts on display really caught my attention, such as the Titanic deck chair and the "unknown" child's shoes! We also stopped by a local restaurant and tried some poutine râpée, which is an Acadian pork-potato dish. It looked kind of gross, but it tasted great!

Anyways, I have to go get some rest. I'll need to be up bright and early for our next flight to Montreal! Until next time!

Introduction

Hello! I'm Cass Green, and welcome to my travel blog! My friend Cheyenne and I will be visiting five cities throughout our countrywide trip across Canada; Halifax, Montreal, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Vancouver! I'll be posting about all the interesting places and things we see on our trip, so I hope you look forward to reading about our adventures! So far, I'm super excited to see the Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, and the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton! We'll be catching a flight to Halifax first thing tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see what Nova Scotia has in store for us!
