Lesson 4

 This is the original first Bank of Montreal. It sits in the centre of historic downtown Montreal parallel to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. As you can see the size of these pillars in front of the bank have a huge size difference compared with the door – which itself is big too. This was taken on a chilly afternoon in early October.

 This memorial in Queenston, Ontario honors the great Canadian Sir Isaac Brock. Brock was given the role of Major General during the war of 1812. His role was important because he became responsible for defending Upper Canada against the United States. Sir Issac Brock was a very important man to Canada so “Parks Canada” made a special monument for him. This monument was rebuilt in 1853 because the original one was bombed by a terrorist in 1840. This monument is huge - It stands over 185 feet tall! It is so big that you have to stand quite far back to see the whole thing. 

 There's nothing like a nice big juicy apple! That's what eight year old Bradley Harper is holding here. This apple is almost as big as both of his hands. While we were staying in Illinois we found this huge apple tree that had an abundance of fruit on it.  

Lesson 3

 This quaint rose was found along a small harbour in Columbus, Ohio. It was a quiet Labor Day, the streets were bare and nobody was around. It was nestled in rich soil with a full scenic view of the Scioto River behind it. The replica of the “Santa Maria” was just in front of it. The Santa Maria was the largest of the three ships Christopher Columbus used on his voyage.
