Algonquin Park

A month ago, I went to Algonquin Park with my friends by rental car. Algonquin Park is the largest park in Ontario and is located in north of Toronto. When we were planning to go Algonquin Park, someone who had been to there told us you'd better go there in summer or fall, because the weather was still cold. There were no green leaves in that season. But we didn't change our plan to go there.

On the date of depature, unfortunately, it was rainy. We were all depressed, but as the Algonquin Park was getting closer, the sun was setting. Highway #60 ran through the south Algonquin Park and it was only road to drive to Algonquin Park so that it was easy to drive and was convenient to find attractions, like a dams, beatiful lakes, campgrounds. It was the off season, highway #60 was almost empty. there was no car and no people, excepting for us. It was good for us. we took pictures on the road with various and funny poses.

On the way to our motel, some people gathered on the side of road. We wondered what happened. We pulled over and saw the sight of something. There was a moose eating grass. But we didn't know what it was at that time. We were so surprised that took many pictures in the distance.

On coming back to our motel, we took a bath and started to drink anchole which we bought in Totonto. While drinking, everything was so funny that we couldn't stop laughing. Actually our trip was farewell trip for one of my friends. He had only 5days to leave Toronto. The reason why we didn't change our plan was that, despite the bad weather.

Next day, The sunshine was more brighter. There was a small lake in front of our motel and there was also a rowboat. At the peril of drowning, we rode a rowboat without any lifesaving equipments. It was dangerous but became unforgettable experience. In a big park, there were only woods and us.

When we left Algonquin Park for Toronto, we didn't want to go. So we promised to go another trip next time. By August, we will have been to Stratford or Windsor.
Algonquin Park is very good place to go these days. Give it a try to go there. I assure it is really good.
