Some friends and I are having dinner in "Sushi Tokyo" restaurant, downtown Calgary. Great food and very reasonable price. |

| I'm finally made it back home to Calgary. Last day in Toronto we visited Niagara Falls. The weather wasn't very nice for the photographs, it was a little foggy and all my photographs were lacking contrast, but it was an interesting place to visit. Because Niagara Falls is located right on the US border, we drove to see Buffalo NY, where I decided to eat some American food :) |

| I'm back in Canada! Spending some time in Toronto right now. This morning Tracy and I visited the Toronto zoo, it was great! The zoo is very big, I'm very impressed, I didn't even come close to seeing it all after spending pretty much the whole day there. I know that I would come back with tons of good animal photographs if I stayed in Toronto longer. In the evening we went up the CN Tower and took some night shots of downtown. |

| Well my time in Jamaca is coming to an end. I had a great time swiming, spending time on the beach, and taking interesting tours around this beautiful country. I stayed in a great hotel, enjoyed very good food, and the weather was great for the two weeks I have been here. Before heading home I had to try the jetted bathtub in our room, it was very nice and relaxing. I'm leaving to Toronto and this will be my last time posting from Jamaica. Stay tuned for more updates. |

Of course I couldn't leave Jamaica without going on a Bob Marley tour, we spent a day on a bus, going to see Nine Mile, the town where Bob Marley was born and where his grave is now. On the way there and back we listened to many of his songs and watched some concerts on DVD. I liked Bob Marley before and I learned some more interesting things about him on this tour. |

| Nothing is really new, just enjoying life on the beach. We did lots of kayaking and swimming in the ocean today. |

| This morning we took a cab to go to the local supermarket in Ocho Rios. I took some photos of the local people and got a hair cut at a local barber. |

| Oh, another hard day at the office :) We finally had a chance to sleep in. We didn't have anything planned for today, just a nice relaxing day at the beach. We went for a ride on a pedal boat, did some swimming and laid on the beach. Later in the evening we played some tennis and I took some night photographs of our hotel. |

Port Antonio. This morning, 7:40 to be exact we left our hotel and headed to Port Antonio. We stopped to see Somerset
waterfalls. The area was deep in the gungle, all covered by trees and it was very beautiful. We went for a very short
boat ride that took us inside of the waterfalls where Tracy dove in for a little swim under the falling water. The highlight of the tour was the rafting! If I had to recommend one thing to try in Jamaica - rafting would be it. They took us on a 3 hour trip down the river on a bamboo raft. The raft is about 25-30 feet long and about 5 feet wide. It can transport 2 people plus the raft captain. It was a very interesting and relaxing trip after which we headed back to our hotel. |

Today was another long day. Tracy really wanted to see Kingston, the capital of Jamaica but the tour that the resort was
offering wasn't very long and we would only see the touristy parts. We ended up taking a taxi ride with a personal guide.
The price was more expensive, but it was really worth it! We could stop at any time to take photographs and could go
pretty much where we wanted and stay there as long as we needed. We stopped at a severally flooded area, Monegue, where a whole village is now underwater due to hurricane Ivan. You can see my photo of some boats that people use to get to the other side of the water where some houses are not yet covered by water. The water levels are still rising and no one really knows why. We visited Port Royal, a 17th century port that was destroyed by an earthquake. It was an interesting place to visit. We drove through the richest and the poorest parts of the city, we saw many interesting things, and even stopped at the zoo (not even close to the Calgary zoo, but was still interesting to see). We just had a great dinner and I'm looking forward to another long day tomorrow... Port Antonio. |
