John and I went on holiday to Canada in the Autumn. After leaving Ottawa we visited Edmonton and took the train to Jasper in the Rocky Mountains.

Edmonton is full of high rise buildings and a vast network of underground shops, offices and malls.

The Odyssium Science and Space Museum was very interesting and very interactive.

I'm in the body zone.
