It is been a year since I posted my last blog. I was so busy with family, work and other things I have to do and not having much time and energy to continue my blog. Now a year later I realized what I missed ...... my blog, soooooo ..... here I am ....... I am back writing my blog again. Telling the world what happen in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan .... If you see the map of Canada you will see that the province of Saskatchewan is "Hard to spell the name but easy to draw the province".
saskatoon is the nice city to live, I love the city since the first time we arrived in Saskatoon. Beautiful city, lots of trees, beautiful river. Very cold in the winter but ... but ..... very, very nice, hot and full of festivals in summer. We bike a lot in the summer, walking the dog along the river, enjoy seeing kayakers on the river,watching people water skiing, not to mention go to the park and enjoy the music from Jazz festival, taking Samantha to the Children festival, see her having fun and enjoying herself there and have a face painting, lovely, we love it.
Oh I forgot other festivals ..... food festivals, there are 2 festivals .... Taste of Saskatchewan, we go there every year. Variety of food there, you can choose from chinese, vietnamese, Ukranian, German etc., next is Folkfest...... this one you do not want to missed it. There are lots of pavilions representing different cultures and countries. The pavilions located around the city and we can go to each pavilion by car or by bus .... good service. All we have to do is to hop on the bus visit the pavilion, try the food (of course we have to pay :), buy some souvenier if we like, look around the pavilion and continue the journey until we cannot eat anymore or tired hop on and off the bus
Finally after visiting many pavilions and try the food around the city we go home with a full tummy :), rest for a while and have a good night sleep and gain weight after that.
We are not worry about that because summer just started, we have lots of time to have exercise and loose the weight we gain during food festivals.
Other festival is Fringe festival, this festival is all about theatre and performance for children and adults.
For everybody who love cars, you do not want to missed this one ... it is a Hot rod show .... wow.... this is an amazing show of cars. Cars you can imagine from early 1900 to the newest car, amazing, we enjoy the show so much.
For someone who love shopping, you would like to go to the Downtown street sale, the city will close 5 or 6 blocks of street for this special occasion. People go to this street sale and buy discounting clothes and also food for whom ever hungry.
Everybody loves dogs (I think). Once a year the down town park has an activity for dogs owner called "A day in the park". Everybody can bring their dogs to this activity and mingled with other dogs owner. Chit-chat one another and the dogs have fun and play with one another too. You can find all kind of dogs you can imagine from very small dog like chihuahua to big huge dogs like st.Bernard.
It is a never ending of summer activities in the city of Saskatoon. That is why we love this city more and more.
