The People:
I loved my vacation to Meteghan.
The ocean was nice and I loved
walking along the beach and
seeing all of the fishing boats.
There were some trees on the
island that were lovely. There
were lots of clouds in the sky and
it rained a lot, but it was really
warm compared to Leduc!
Sunil Dias
I really enjoyed my trip to
Saskatoon. Even though there
were not many hills, I loved
seeing the wide open fields,
tall grasses and I loved feeling
the sunshine on my face.
