This Week So Far, sorry I'm late

To be honest posting these blog posts is tough, Early mornings and late nights yet i have found some time today to post this here blog post.

Sunday was yet an adventure as my host took us all dog sledding. beautiful day out, I found it rather peaceful too. 
We went dog sledding at the Escapade Eskimos, I'm sure they have a website, you ll have to look it up

Monday we went to see the Parliament buildings. Yet again was i amazed at the architecture. Walking down that first hall we went in after security and the big open area, i was reminded that this is where the 2014 shooting happened. In that very hall, people had ducked and hid among the columns and spaces in the walls. We were also near those spaces
There peace tower was beautiful as i did hear the bells chime O Canada at the 12th hour. The amazing view was breathtaking and a little dizzy.

Tuesday we went to see Montreal's bio dome. The amount of wildlife in there was crazy, as the dome was split into multiple sections. My favorite sections were the rain forest and also the maple forest. I did take lots of picture of all the animals i could find and see. There were lots of fish for each section and lots of sea life. 
We also went to Old Montreal were we had found a local cupcake and ice cream shop. I have to say that I had the best bacon cupcake in my life. (Red velvet cake, maple butter cream filling and icing and maple bacon to top it off. I savored it and it was delicious) The way the buildings were made was fantastic, as we did go to see the Notre-Dame Basilica, in which famous singer Celine Dion was married, The cathedral was made of dark mahogany, besides the concrete in the pillars and the metal in the foyer. There was also a large organ with almost 7000 pipes and 244 piano keys. 

Wednesday, today.
We went to the Petawawa army base. It was amazing to see the simulator and also to see the museum, where i did take lots of pictures. The Chinook that we got to see, was a large army aircraft plane that could carry alot (i forget how much) They could take up to 33 troops in that plane, where only some could take 18 or even just 6. We had lunch in their Mess hall. Apparently we were special, because you have to be in a promoted position to eat at that Mess.

We don't have to be up as early tomorrow, so that's when I'll post the pictures i have of every place we went in. I cant upload them at the moment cause i don't know why. The pictures will have a brief explanation of whats in the picture, don't worry. You wont have guess  to what it is.
