Visit to Canada

Posted by Martin on 29 May 2012, 20:39

Between 17th and 28th May together with 10 good old friends I visited Canada.
On this trip we visited Fort Erie and Fort George, both in the Niagara Region.
During the war of 1812 between the young USA and the British in Canada.
Here some pics of Fort Erie:

You can imagine I had a great time there!
And we had the forts almost for ourselves, because it was a normal working day for the Canadians.
