Train Ride Across Canada

What a rush! I hope that everyone enjoyed the past couple days, I know I did! The past couple days were spent on a train with other YMCA youth from across the country as we took the train from Montreal back into Vancouver with stops made in Toronto, Winnepeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper, Kamloops and finally, home sweet home. Unfortunately there was no WiFi for majority of the trip, but it did enable me to see another side of Canada that I normally wouldn't be able to on my own. And now, it all begins: what can teenagers do on a train for 4 days?

(Just a side note, this post will be post into parts just because of the amount of material to cover...)

We rode one train from Montreal to Toronto, which had an interesting dinner included...
Because we were running a little behind, the time that we were going to spend in Toronto was basically train hopping, and just before midnight we left Toronto and began our journey.

The train ride was certainly an interesting experience... take 50+ teenagers and putting them in a confined space for 4 days was quite fun: all the movies, card games, random junk food and Heads Up that we played was definitely a trip never to be forgotten. The food was better than I expected, the scenery was breathtaking, and the experience was very unique... check it out!













I'm sorry this took so long to post... unpacking has never taken so long! All the pictures have finally made it onto Facebook... and now it's onto the videos! There will be a separate post for that :)

Je t'aime et je te manque Quebec :)
