Vimy

Hello everybody!!!!!!
Today we packed up and left our cool house! It was sad... then we drove for a while. Then we looked for a place to eat. Vimy the town near Vimy ridge had no restaurants!! Oak Bank has 4!!!! So we back tracked to another town we had passed before. Their food was REALLY REALLY good. Dad was full *Gasps* very very very shocking. Then BAM! we were at Vimy ridge okay maybe not that fast...
Vimy is a battle site where Canadians fought as one regiment or something like that. It was really cool they had trenches and........SHEEP!!!! They did have tunnels but they weren't as cool as the ones in Dover. We took a guided tour then drove to the Memorial. Some teenagers asked Dad for help with their English word search.After that we drove a couple seconds to the cemetery. It was depressing. The hostel we drove to after has free Wi-Fi! YAY!!!!
Bye,Emy

Hello Jane, Mike, Josephine and Emily: It is time for me to go to bed, but I just wanted to say good night. Have read your notes, and will read them again tomorrow. It is October 12th, no, it is already October 13th, and we had snow several days ago. Can you imagine that it really snowed so early in October; a record for early and heavy snowfall since 1872.

Enjoy the excitement and keep on letting us know what you are experiencing. Lottie
