Corner Brook, NewFoundlandPosted on September 1st, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
These were sent by Aida from Footprints from the North of 61 , now Aida is a very special woman. Why ..?? Well.. actually all women who chooses to leave home.. and uproot in the name of love.. i admire .. and think they are special.. but for Aida.. she lives in Nunavut, now if you know where Nunavut is.. you’ll know how cold it is up there. I complained so much that Yarmouth, Nova Scotia is cold.. Nunavut must be like 100 times colder. But boy..! this woman is not only spunky.. but resourceful.. and also very good with her hands and most importantly very adventurous..!!

Here are some of corner brook, newfoundland where she lived for 1.5 years.

Island Of Gozo, MediterraneanPosted on August 20th, 2008 @ 12:23 am

Martin from Total Dismay has something in common with Chloe and I.. he was born and bred in Nova Scotia and lived in this part of the world till he was 35. I wonder where in Nova Scotia did he lived in..??
Martin said :
Right now I live on the Island of Gozo in the Mediterranean. This island is small (67 square km) the summers are very hot and sunny and the winters are mild and rainy (still less rain than Nova Scotia).
I hear that the Island of Gozo is of Myths and Miracles. Compared to its neighbouring islands, the island of Gozo is more rural .. and famous for its scenic hills

Victoria/Rabat - This is on Republic Street..??

This is some sort of theater.. but i don’t know what its name is. Maybe Martin .. can help me with its name..??

Also popularly called as Rabat, this according to Martinis the main street of the city and is often referred to as Racecourse street. You can see some ponies in the picture awaiting for their turn to race up the street but this only takes place during religious feast days.

In the Island of Gozo, you can find Oleander planted on the roadsides and medians. Very beautiful eh..?
Martin said :
It blooms twice annually and the show lasts for a long time. Workers cut them back aggressively when they start to intrude on traffic visibility. They are so robust that they are four feet high and blooming within a few months of having been pruned almost to ground level.
Thank you so much.. Martin for sharing those pictures with me.. and Chloe. Keep the pictures coming eh..

There is a double deckered bridge which links both towers are 41st and 42nd floor (pic img4881.jpg). The shopping center below these two towers is Suria KLCC and I love shopping there.

Toledo, OregonPosted on August 17th, 2008 @ 2:01 am
Thanks to Karen from of Falcon Says who lives in Toledo, Oregon, near Oregon central coast. The pictures below are beautiful.

Karen said: “The bridge and port pic is actually Newport, Oregon’s Yaquina Bayfront. Looking out beyond the bridge, that is the Pacific Ocean. Where we are standing is a dock just below the Bayfront shopping area and restaurants.”

Next, is from inside our home, it’s ‘Missy’. She’s older than dirt. Toledo is a small logging town with a lumber mill, one bank, one store and one gas station.

You can see the woodsy Toledo out my window, and I’ll include one more pic of our horsie, Foxxy, (since I was thrilled to see so many horsies on your site!) The pasture fills up in winter as the tide water table rises inland. Now, it’s much prettier, water is down and grass is thick and rich.
Thank you so much for sharing your world with us..!

Chittenango Falls State ParkPosted on August 16th, 2008 @ 9:56 pm

Mrs Mecomber from New York Traveler ..had so generously offered me tons of pictures from her collection in New York State and i chose Chittenango Falls State Park. I’ve picked a few wonderful pictures.. but I’ll let Mrs Mecomber tell you the story.

Looking Down The Falls.

Debris from floods

Gorge Trail

Footpath Over Creek

Chittenango Fall
From what i know of Chittenango Falls State Park, its waterfall is about 167 foot and that is said to be the main attraction. Many people visit the park and fish, hike as well as have their picnics here. There is also a footbridge at Chittenango Falls State Park but because it has pictures of Mrs Mecomber family, i didn’t wanna put them up until she said so.

Lancaster, PennsylvaniaPosted on August 16th, 2008 @ 12:37 am
Well.. our very first guest on this blog is Jenn from Lancaster, Pennsylvania .. and she had some pictures to share with us. Jenn’s blog is : jenn.nu

Hi! I’m Jenn, and I live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (though my hometown is Philadelphia; we moved to Lancaster when I was 13 years old. I am now 24!). Yes, Lancaster as in home of the PA Dutch aka Amish Country. I live four miles away from the famous Strasburg Railroad (www.strasburgrailroad.com), and I am surrounded by farms, fields and Amish. I share the road with the Amish and their horse-drawn buggies, and I love raising my children in the quiet countryside that is still just an hour’s drive from two major cities: Harrisburg and Philadelphia.

Horsey..!

My favorite..!! cows..!!

Horsey again.

According to Jenn .. this path is not used often. And that the preferred mode of transportation in her area is motor vehicle, and then followed by horse drawn buggy.

Train..!!
Thank you so much Jenn..!!! Yer awesome..!!

Yarmouth, Nova ScotiaPosted on August 7th, 2008 @ 12:24 pm

Well.. i guessed i should start first.. introducing the little town I am in and called home some 8 yrs ago. Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.. is a very small town.. with a population of about 8,000. Although, it is not considered stone age here.. for we do have high speed internet and Wi-Fi .. there are things that can be changed with the times. Of course, we don’t have very many good restaurants here.. and that’s my biggest peeve.
This is a pretty small community and since we owned our own business for the last 9 yrs.. you can say we know just about everyone in town.. or those that we donch probably knows us too. The folks here are mostly simple and down to earth people but if you are visiting Nova Scotia .. you probably prefer Halifax.. the city instead. For whale watching.. fishing .. and clamming or even lighhouses tours .. then Yarmouth would be a great place to be.
Yarmouth is one of the gateway into Canada. From Maine.. you are only a boat ride away.. on the CAT about 5.5 - 6hrs. Or Scotia Prince that is a wee bit longer but folks from the States said.. they prefer Scotia Prince to the CAT for it is less choppy.
