Niagara Falls is a beautiful place, with a drop of nearly 188 feet down. In summer you can feel the unforgettable thrill of going up near the fall.

The night lighting is beautiful. Hotels near Niagara has good rooms  and a good view. You can also dine at Brasa Brazilian steakhouse, a traditional Brazilian barbecue.

A Difficult Start

While  in Brazil, we made a study of the best public schools for our children, contacting many of them via email, before deciding on Seneca Hill School.When  we came to Toronto, we stayed in a hotel for almost three months while looking for a residence near at school of choice. We wanted rent a house, even with problems of lack of credit due to being new here in Toronto. We found a house, but we discovered, when checking out the laundry, room on our second visit to the house, that  there were three more men living in the basement. Incredible. We gave up and finally found a different apartment. My husband's international driver's license was valid for six months here in Canada and it only applies to rentals but not for a car purchases.

Fernando de Noronha

 Fernando de Noronha is a beautiful island approximately 20 km long, located in the northeast of Brazil. It has beautiful beaches where you can watch dolphins and swim with turtles, sharks, moray eels, stingrays and many others beautiful fish while snorkelling. There is a project to protect sea turtles at the beaches of Padre Cliff Leao. The turtles lay around 100 eggs in each nest, and return to the sea. These eggs are covered and protected for 40 days. The professionals marked the opening day of the nest, where help open the nests to facilitate their way to the sea. My children had a wonderful experience of catching them in the hands and putting closer to the sea into which they enter and find their way into the future.

Workshop on Immigration to Canada (CBSA)

On Wednesday I attended a workshop which was very interesting. The seminar discussed several important issues, such as the documents required for Canadian residents, travelling alone or with children, making arrangements before leaving your country, jewelry, what kind of goods you can bring back and more.

Train travel from Toronto to Vancouver

 My husband and my children took ​​a beautiful train ride in the winter, passing through Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Edmonton. In Jasper, they remained two days in a beautiful hotel, where the children went skating on the frozen lake, and saw reindeer, wolves, bighorn sheep and moose along the way, and enjoyed a Christmas dinner with family. But, unfortunately, I was working on those days and could not go along. After that, they returned for another day's journey on the train to Vancouver. They stayed 5 days in Vancouver and returned by plane to Toronto.

Adapting to Canada

 I am very happy with the adjustment of my three children in Canada. We have been here for two years and they communicate well in English and have friends at school. On Tuesday, we went to a barbecue at a friend's house and everyone had a great time. My children have also adapted well and do ice skating and hockey, which we do not have in our country of origin due to the tropical climate.

Lunch at Swiss Chalet

I live in Toronto with my husband and my children. At the moment I am studing English at LINC and yesterday there was a lunch at Swiss Chalet to celebrete the birthday of a teacher. It was very interesting and I participated with many other students.
