Algonquin

Dear Algonquin Park,

Although we enjoy your beauty, your gorgeous landscapes and breathtaking wildlife, we do not appreciate the fact that you rain on us while we camp every time we come to visit you. Could you please re-consider your watering pattern to suit us?

Thanks,

Ohh.. Algonquin. Here at English on the Road, we have a love-hate relationship with you. I guess the love out-weighs the hate because we keep going back to visit the park. Again, we had a bear warning in our camp ground which made us be extra cautious with storing our food properly.

We had a nature walk with Kevin the Park Naturalist. We explored different species of plants, we learned how to track the population of moose in the park as well as the population of bears and turtles. During our trek we saw, turtles, rabbits, shrews, turkey vultures, ospreys, chipmunks, mice and toads. The wildlife of the park was truly captured when I discovered a squirrel in our van! To add to this, we also learned how to wash ourselves in the lake, and live without amenities!

Sonia and I caught a glimpse of Algonquin's outdoor theatre on our last night. We saw a play on the death and mystery surrounding the famous park artist, Tom Thompson.

All and all - we did have a wonderful time. We all found our love for nature and ......I SAW TWO MOOSE!!

Love,

The English on the Road Team
