Spring Breezes and Scenic Rides
On a warm Monday with a clear blue sky, I finished my work and set off on my bike in the afternoon. I headed to McDonald Sports Park, just 3.6 km away from home. As I rode through the trail, I reached a beautiful lake nearby. The round trip was a leisurely 7 km ride. […]
Emera Oval Skating
I had my first skate at the Emera Oval, a year-round outdoor facility on the Halifax Common. In winter, it transforms into the largest outdoor, artificially refrigerated ice surface. This season, I had only stepped onto the frozen Lake William for a brief glide, so this was my first time skating such a long distance. […]
Skating on the Lake William
Wow, even our big lake, Lake William was almost completely frozen! My friend did cross-country skiing! So, Sam suddenly started clearing the snow to make a skating rink. I gave it a try, but the surface was so rough that I could barely glide. Then, I heard the ice cracking beneath me and bolted off […]
Walking on the frozen Charlie’s Lake
Charlie Lake is located just under a 30-minute drive from Burgundy Dream B&B. A scenic 3 km loop trail circles the lake, offering a moderately challenging route that takes an average of 50 minutes to complete. The lake itself is quite small, about 1 km at its longest point, and in winter, it freezes over […]

My Joyful Performance of Tanguillos de Cádiz
I’ve been practicing flamenco for about a year now. I had the chance to learn the choreography to the lively and rhythmic flamenco tango, ‘Tanguillos de Cádiz Sin Baile Flamenco,’ a traditional piece from Cádiz known for its joyful, upbeat tempo. The dance style of ‘tanguillos’ is both playful and energetic, capturing the essence of […]
Surprising Summer Vibes
Today, the temperature soared to a surprising 19 degrees, making it feel like summer! It was the perfect weather for dismantling the deck by the water as the season comes to a close. Although the water was freezing at first, I soon got used to it and enjoyed a refreshing swim afterward. What a wonderful […]
Cape Split Trailhead:A Scenic Stroll Through Autumn
I hiked 15 kilo meters at Cape Split Trailhead, enjoying a stunning new trail that featured scenic lookouts. We took the new trail out and returned via the old one. The autumn colors along the trail were truly breath taking. The hike to the tip of the peninsula took about two hours, and although the […]
