Austin – Texas – Part II
Following our tours through Austin, we spent most of the day at Zilker Park (see previous post – Austin Part I here). We made a strategic stop for a beautiful view of downtown Austin at Rock Point inside the park. View of Zilker Park from Rock Point – this park is great! Lou Neff Point Lookout on the edge of Zilker Park Lou Neff Point – Downtown Austin and Colorado River Barton Springs – Public natural pool – too bad you couldn’t get in, the line was huge! Playground near Barton Springs pool Quick drive – by car – on Congress Avenue – One of the most famous streets in…

Austin – Texas – Part I
On another of our short, rather unpredictable trips, this time we ended up in Texas. It was kind of in celebration of Diego’s birthday, which would be in a few days and we took advantage of a promotion of tickets to get to know the American state that we had never visited before. Of course, if you were to see the distance, since Texas is in the extreme South American center, we would have spent a lot more days to explore the other major cities, like Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, but we only had 3 days to visit as much as possible. After dropping off the dogs at their…

Getting to know Newfoundland – Part II
*Thank you for the kind comments!!! I'll be back later this week with details of our newly revealed little secret. 🙂 Following our tours of beautiful St. John's (Part I here). The next day, our plan was to take the boat trip, the peak point of the trip. Due to some recommendations, we decided to leave a small town about 40 minutes from downtown St. John's, called the Bay Bulls. We took the 11:00 a.m. tour with O'Briens, properly married, because the temperature should be about 9 degrees at the exit and about 5ºC on the high seas. We would have the chance to see whales, birds and icebergs, but…

Getting to know Newfoundland – Part I
Another short trip came up and this time we decided to take the opportunity to know another Canadian province: Newfoundland and Labrador. The province is further east in Canada and indeed all of North America. St. John’s, our destination, is the provincial capital with about 200,000 inhabitants and lies in the Newfoundland area, which is an island. The other part of the province, Labrador is gigantic and continental. Red dot there is St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador We had about 4 days there and it was more than enough to see the attractions in the city and still drive a little more to see beautiful landscapes along the coast…

Gananoque – ON
Friday is many photos day here on the blog, prepared? Lol This last weekend we decided to pick up the whole family and meet with friends Carol and Luciano for two days of relaxation. We chose the small town of Gananoque-ON, since it was “almost” that in the middle of the road, are 161 km from home and 309 km from Mississauga, where they live. Gananoque is a small town on the edge of the Saint Lawrence River with approximately 5,200 inhabitants and is a great access point to the Thousand Islands (1000 Islands), the region’s major tourist spot. The city is close to Kingston, also known as the gate…

Burlington , New 1000, New 1 Vermont: Part II
On Sunday (for those who missed the start of the trip – here's the first part), we took advantage of the pool at the hotel in the morning (after all it was what convinced goldfish Alice that the trip would be, in fact, fun) and then we took the opportunity to know some more sights of Burlington. Nearby, we meet another brewery, The Magic Hat and the Vermont teddy bear factory. It even looked like a private pool – our only… It is worth commenting that thermal pools in Canada are beeem cooler than those in Brazil – difficult to enter, at least for me, after it enters is even…
