Oh Canada, what a wonderful land!

I will post a few great/interesting/weird things I learned in Canada over the past week before I write a recap of our trip!

- The Canadian people (at least in the Maritimes) were very friendly!

- They have a dollar coin, which they call a "Loonie," because it has a picture of a Canadian Loon (bird) on one side.

- "Trailer Park Boys" is a really hilarious show that is not shown in the United States...:(

- At the Calgary stampede, they have condoms shaped like cowboy hats to prevent STD's.

- They recycle way more than we do and are more eco-friendly, at least more than New England or the Midwest (in Arizona and the West, there was a lot of recycling).

- Everything (food labels, street signs, etc.) was in both English and French, understandably.

- A lot of Japanese people like Anne of Green Gables; hey, there is nothing wrong with that because I love her, too.

- Prince Edward Island is one of the most beautiful places; I love it so!
