back in the american continent

even that was not Mexico my first stop back in the American continent. And it was my first time in Canada, it felt I am back in the American continent, everything is in BIG size! (the following pictures are not big, but you can click on them if you want to see the details 😉 )

Just in brief, because I didn’t report on time these happenings. I would like to share that my first outstanding impression of this land: to find OFTEN public phones. They will be usually next to the bus stop, at least in Montreal. This is interesting while you are coming from Filand. Especially if we recall that sometime ago the Helsinki Sanomat reported that the public phones disappeared in Helsinki area.

Also, the architecture in Montreal is interesting, especially for the stairs.


Houses in Montreal
And they use interesting “tends” for their cars in winter (in order to do “less” snow work).

Without a doubt, Montreal is a city with its own personality. I want to thank A LOT to my host (JP Botha) for a great time in this region of Canada.

jääkarhut and a beginning of a new section.

Once, long time ago was my first trial into ice-swimming , but for different reasons I quit.

Today, after easily influenced by peer pressure in search of adventure, I allow some adrenaline to go through my system and try this type of experience again. And, to my own surprised I survived the trial!!!! It is worth to say, that now I am ready to sleep with the angels 🙂

Ah! with this post I begin the personal diary section, with sharing purposes 😉
