Canada

The second largest country in the world is as equally broad in its diversity. From snow capped mountains to dessert terrain, whale watching along both coasts to the thunderous Niagara Falls, Canada is a vast and beautiful land with something for everyone. 

Visit the metropolis of Toronto for some city culture including museums, the CN Tower, and the Hockey Hall of fame, or train up to Montreal for a taste of European flair. Go further up the Saint Lawrence River to the historical Old Quebec, or head way west to the outdoor haven and picturesque Vancouver. Hop a ferry to have a sip of tea in Victoria. The more adventurous can hit polar bear capital up north in Churchill, Manitoba, or see the highest and lowest tides in the world at the Bay of Fundy.

Drumheller, Alberta, Canada
It's not just the museum here, there are a lot of sites in town to check out- like the giant trex and reptile world, there is a coal mine site and some settler histric sites as well. There is nowhere in town to eat though, so be prepared to hunt something down or pack a lunch.

Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
Cape Sable Island. I great place to spend a day and explore the seaside. If your traveling through Nova Scotia and you are thinking of doing the drive from the Annapolis Valley through to Yarmouth and then to Shelburne and Liverpool, or vice versa, you should think about stopping by Cape Sable Island. This is a cute little fishing village where the people will invite you into their homes and ask you to stay for supper. Cape Sable Island is just that, an island connected to the mainland by a causeway. It takes only a short time to drive the entire island so you have ample opportunity to get out and take photos or explore. Your going to be surrounded by short stumpy coniferous trees and salt sea air. The landscape is unique and always holds your attention. If you want to meet some of the locals there are various little shops and stalls around where you can pick up folk art or native crafts. You may want to find someone you can understand and hold onto them for a translator as you drive further into the heart of town :) You might notice that the local English Accent is a little tricky to catch at first but in no time you'll notice yourself talk just like dem :)

Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Le quartier du Vieux Port est vraiment magnifique. Une promenade sur la Place Jacques Cartier et ses ruelles avoisinantes vaut vraiment la peine.

Tofino, British Columbia, Canada
I lived here for a month and there is not much to do for nightlife except for grab some " Lucky's" beer and set up a bonfire on the beach. However, Whale watching was awsome! Try surfing...its crazy and Check out the Clayoquot Sound Hot Springs. If you like Sushi, Tough City Sushi is the freshest you'll ever have in your life! Delicious . And i recomend ordering and Eggs Benny from Schooners restaurant..the best one i have ever had. If you have a lot of cash then spend the night at the Wickaninnish Inn...gorgeous view and just an awsome Hotel

Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Montreal is famous for its smoked meat, but don't be distracted by places like Ben's or Dunn's (which I think is closed now anyways) or Nickel's (that awful place owned by Celine Dion)... just bee-line to Schwartz's on Boulevard St. Laurent (also known as "the Main") .... This place is a landmark in the city. No-I'm not related to the owners. But when I visit Montreal, even though I hardly ever eat beef, I make a pilgrimage to Schwartz's.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Beerbistro is a must visit for anyone who loves beer with food. Too much time and effort has been spent on pairing wine with food, when what one really wants is a beer. At Beer Bistro, they use their pallets to choose which beers got best with each meal. An AMAZING selection of beers (and their Frites are great, too)! Their lunch menu is reasonably priced for those on a budget.

The Bata Shoe Museum is well worth the time and ticket price. Even for those who are not shoe lovers will enjoy this walk through history. This stop is filled with histrical shoe facts, preservation information, artwork (in shoe form), and of course shoes!
