A Really Big Cemetary

This is the grave of Oscar Wilde, the poet. It's in a really big cemetary in Paris which I forget the name of ... Pere Lachaise maybe? yeah I think that's it. Anyway it a hugely massive cemetary and it has a few holocaust memorials in it as well as a few other famous people's graves that we saw. So I have quite a few pics of this cemetary and I'll probably end up posting at least a few more .... wow that last part sounds morbid but it really was quite interesting.

Sacre Coeur

This is a picture of Sacre Coeur (yeah I'm not 100% sure of the spelling). Anyway it was the first place thy took us on my recent Fritaly (France and Italy) trip that I took with the school. It's a very imposing building set on top of a hill ... there are a lot of stairs to get up there but the veiw of Paris that you get is awesome. It really give you a feel for how big the city is ... though I have to say that out of the all the cities we went to on the trip Paris was my least favourite, it was too big and too busy for my liking ... but even so i really liked it there.

McDonald's Is Taking Over the World!!!



An ad for McDonald's in Epcot ... I work at McDonald's and this ad made me laugh ... but i have a serious question ... Why am I going to go to McDonald's when I go to a different country? (with the exception of the US) ... Food is a part of culture and if you don't try the food you really are missing out ...

Swans In Stratford

These are some of the swans in Stratford, Ontario...though I have also been to Stratford England. In Stratford they have a rather famous theatre festival, the Stratford Festival ... I which I absolutely love to go to ... especially the Festival Theatre which is in part based on the theatre used by Shakespeare. This season there are about five plays that I'm dying to see but of all of them I'd say Twelvth Night would be my first choice because we studied it in grade 10 and i really liked it.

Some French Countryside

This is a view from the vinyard that belonged to the people i stayed with. We went on a couple long walks through the hills ... and climbed a lot of fences ... but it was really cool.
