Wednesday, 4 September 2013. When I was 13 years old, my parents took my three sisters, our dog, and me on a 6-month adventure traveling through Europe in an old VW minibus. After arriving in England in February of 1972, we headed straight for southern Spain, and had the fortune to find a charming original farmhouse on the side of a mountain near Almunecar. We stayed in “Casa Francisca” for 3 months, learned Spanish, and even went to the local school. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Friday, 11 May 2012. Swans Love their New Improved Victoria Park Lake. Kitchener's Victoria Park swans have returned after their winter vacation to find a vastly improved habitat. They appeared to be both curious and happy about their deeper, cleaner water, attractive rocky shoreline, and the absence of gigantic, gasping carp. Their winter vacation away from the park coincided with the major lake restoration project. Hmmmm, where did those nice big rocks come from? Our grass is a little out of reach now.
