My holidays in Canada


Hello my name is Antonio but you can tell me Toni, I prefer this name.  I’m from Spain but I’m staying in a small city of Canada called Welland to improve my English. I think that is a beautiful city but maybe it is so quiet, maybe too quiet. I'm studying aeronautical engineering in the "Universidad politecnica" of Valencia but the thing that I really love is playing soccer. I have played since I was 4 years old, I have played in the team of my town, in the Valencia CF and now, I'm playing at the team of a town near than mine. The next week I have to begin to train but I will be in Canada so I’m going to miss to the first week of train. As you can see in the picture below I play as goalkeeper.


But in this blog I’m going to talk about my holidays in Canada. After two weeks in Canada I can tell you some trips that my friends and I have done and some places that we have visited. For example, the first week we went to St. Catherines. In St Catherines we could see the 10th Annual Classic Car Show; we could see some old cars. But we went to the mall and we could buy some souvenirs to our friends and our parents.
The next day, on Sunday we went to a BBQ in the church with Leslie, we met a lot of Canadian people, it was a good opportunity to practice our English and make new friends. We met a lot of kind people one of them, Neck invited us to his home yesterday. We could swim in his swimming pool and we saw a movie also. Neck is nice friend.
It was an amazing trip, but until now my favorite trip have been the Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist. It was a wonderful trip, we visited the Niagara Falls, I think that is the most beautiful place that I’ve never seen. We could see the falls with a ship, so we had the opportunity of be very close of them. It was very amazing.
And the last weekend we went to Toronto, but we only had one day to visit the city so we looked for a bed and breakfast to have two days to see the city. In Toronto we saw a baseball match and we visited some interesting places like the CN tower, the air Canada center, etc.
But the most of the time we are on Welland, so we don’t have many things to do, so we usually go out with some friends that we have. They are three guys from Toronto but they are studying on Welland, so sometimes they invite us to their home to play to the PS3. They are very friendly guys, so we really enjoy the meetings with them at the same time that we learn more English.
I will continue writing about my holidays the next week. See you!

  1. Hello Toni, you are worried now, because the Team began without you, but in this moment enjoy and learn more and more about English. I believe that many of your teammates want to be here.

  2. Hey Toni! Congratulations for the picture, it’s really awesome! I’ve seen him playing soccer, and I’ve played with him too, so I can say that Toni is a very good goalkeeper.
    I’m also enjoying in Canada, but remember that we only have a few days more to spend here, so we must use the remaining time well. I think that we chose the best choice when we decided to come to Canada, it’s a very nice country.
    I’m really glad of coming here to Canada with you and Diego, I’ll never forget this experience, and I expect that you are enjoying with me as much as I’m doing with you.
