The British-Canadian Frontline WW1

So, this morning we woke up bright and early (4am) awesome... just awesome and piled onto the coaches and trecked south towards the English Channel. To my delight we had the opportunity to go through the Eurotunnel or The Chunnel. This was a pretty cool experience as the coach drove down a ramp and onto a train that was just a little more than the width of the coach. It parked behind some other cars and the doors on the sides were slide shut. The train than raced forward through its little tunnel all the way under the English Channel to France. There were i think 6 or 7 seperate tunnels whizzing cars and caoches back and forth from France. Once we started moving, we were able to get out of the coach and walk around and look out the windows a little bit. I thought maybe there would be lots of tropical fish.... but it was just dark and black. ha. ah well. Once we arrived in France, it looked a lot like Canada. There was loads of snow! Yehah! We drove for about an hour out of France and into Belgium.

We stopped at Sactuary Wood, the home of Hill 62 which was a Briitsh-Canadian frontline during World War 1. Literally, about 15 minutes before we arrived there Paul Martin just left the site. He was there visiting and doing various political things. We called his driver and tried to get him to stay so we could meet him etc. but, he took off. Ah well... probaly had something to do with meeting 175 Canadian University students.
