Last December, my family and I went to Toronto. It’s in Canada, and it is a big city by Lake Ontario. The lake is so big you cannot see the other side; it looks like the ocean! And it was so cold, so much colder than Mexico! It snowed every day we were there, and there were very large pieces of ice on the lake and in the streets. We really couldn’t stay outside for very long, but we didn’t have to. In the city center, you can walk through underground tunnels that are connected to public transport. One thing I really enjoyed about Toronto was the breakfast. When you go to a restaurant and order pancakes, they serve it with real maple syrup, which tastes better than what I’m used to! I also got to watch a hockey game at a stadium, which was a lot of fun. We got to eat poutine , which is basically French fries, cheese, and gravy (a meaty sauce). It’s wonderful in the winter; it makes you feel warmer. We rented a car and went to Niagara Falls. It was beautiful, and so much taller and noisier than I imagined. We couldn’t stay for long because it was freezing, but it was a nice drive. Everything was white. Even the trees were covered with snow. On the way back to the city, we stopped the car because we thought there was something standing under some trees next to the road. It was a giant moose, and, oh boy, was it big! It was much larger than any cow or horse I’ve ever seen!
