Hello,

Today we are the 28th of June. Unbelievable!!! It has been already a really emotional week! But also a beautiful week with lots of exciting things. I will tell you about that.
Before I came here they said, leaving would be the hardest moment. And that's true, did not think it would be so hard! When I was packing, I realized that I have a lot of stuff here, stuff from ten months.
Canada will always be my second home!
I will be happy to see my friends and family back in Belgium!

Now I will tell about the prom and the graduation. The prom was monday. My date was Jonathan from Hong Kong. First we went to the Public gardens in Halifax at 5pm. To take a lot of pictures.
On 6.45pm we went to the World Trade Convention centre down town. The dinner and the dance took there place.
For dinner we had chicken with a nice salad, and the dessert was chocolate cake with ice cream.
The prom ended at midnight.

Thursday it was the graduation. It took place at exhibition park on Prospect road. This year they had the biggest graduation group from the history of Halifax West High School. 430 students graduated.
That was really special to be part of that! They have video's from it, that I will show you later but now I will show some pictures. Prom and graduation are really big in Canada.

Tomorrow is my last full day, hard to believe.
Am grateful that I was able to experience this adventure!
I will post one more blog message on sunday.

Greetings,
Zoë

Hello,

It is today the 19th of June. Today I will talk about the second part of the trip. Sorry that you had to wait a day longer. Saturday morning when we woke up, we had a huge breakfast at the Bed and Breakfast. A little bit to much. It started with banana bread and cinnamon rolls. Then yoghurt. After that they served some fruit. I was almost stuffed. We got some beans in tomato sauce. At least the last dish arrived. That were two pancakes with apple and cinnamon. We ate until lunch hour.

That day we saw a lot of wild animals. I went whale watching with my mother and I saw a Minke whale. He was nine meters long. He swam under the boat, the boat was much smaller then him.
Amazing to see these huge animals!
We saw two moose that day, I saw one at the wild life park. But to see them in nature that's special.
There were lots of eagles. That day a lot of special things happened.
Sunday and monday we did the rest of the Cabot Trail. That's so beautiful, every corner surprised me.
Sunday evening we had lobster at the restaurant. I was trying to open it nicely. But one piece flew in the air and hit the other side of the room. That was funny. I couldn't stop laughing.
I had a really nice trip with my parents! Tomorrow it's their last day here. The flight is in the evening.
And ten days later I'll be back in Belgium. Time goes so fast, unbelievable!
It's hard to believe.
Now I will show you some pictures!

Greetings Zoë

Hello,

Today it is the 16th of June. Today I will talk about the trip with my parents. Monday they picked me up after school. And we drove from Halifax to Wolfville. We slept there for two nights. Monday and Tuesday night. Tuesday we went to Digby Neck. In the harbor of Digby they catch scallops. They taste really good. In the evening we drove back to Wolfville.
Wednesday we went to Windsor and we visited the Mermaid Theatre. That's an ateliers where they make puppets. They travel the whole world with their shows. Their shows are about children's books. Like "The very hungry caterpillar".
In the evening we drove to Burncoat, next to the Bay of Fundy. There they measured the highest and the lowest tides from the whole world. Amazing to see.
Antigonish was our next stop, we visited the little city. Antigonish is also a university city. The St. Francis Xavier university is there. That's where I slept for the Leadership. that was our last stop before we went to Cape Breton.
Around lunch hour we arrived in Cape Breton and we started the Cabot trail. Friday evening we spent the night in Pleasant Bay at the National park of Canada.
The rest will follow tomorrow, and will let you know which wild animals I saw. Now I will show you some pictures from the trip.

Greetings,
Zoë

Hello,

Today we are 13th of June. The third of June was the last activity of the International Student program of Nova Scotia. It took place at Mic Mac Canoe Club. From 5 pm until 8.30 pm.
There were Dragon boats. These are very long boats, and you can canoe with a lot of people together. Out of teak wood to various designs and sizes. After that we came inside to have a nice dinner together.
Every student got a certificate of Enrollment. They took a picture from all the international students from every school. Then there were awards in all categories, I also got an award. That was a great honor, did not expect. Thank you to the people that nominated me. You will see a picture of the award under my blog message.
You will see also some pictures from my trip with my parents, and tomorrow I will write about the trip.

Greetings,
Zoë

Hello,

It's today the 10th of June, last friday my parents arrived. After more than 9 months I saw them back.
Happy to see them! All the emotions came above! It felt unreal. My parents had a warm welcome from Blandine, Giulia, Lander, Eleanor, Allyson and Afi. They filmed the moment. Today my parents picked me up at school, and we are making a trip to Cape Breton. We are staying over night in Wolfville. Tomorrow we will do a day trip to Digby. After the day trip we will come back to Wolfville.
I will show you some pictures.
Tomorrow I will talk about the last activity we had with the International Student Program, and I let you know how our day trip went.
