Exploring Hamilton

 Last Friday, on our Cultural Day, we went to downtown Hamilton.

First of all, we visited one Art Gallery, it had a lot of different types of art; for me, the most impressive was one "bus" with stories in it, it had little figurines and toys. It was like a big city, with mountains, houses, roads, animals... in and outside the bus. It was amazing. 

Then, we went to do roller-skating in the Harbour Front, near lake Ontario. 

And to end the day we went to Art Crawl on James North Street, where we went into an art gallery and drew soccer balls for a Pan Am Games competition. 

After that, we were very tired because it had been a very hot day, so we decided to go home. When I arrived home I went into the pool and I didn't want to come out! Hahaha! It was a really nice day. Ana B.

 

 In the beginning of our day in Hamilton we went to the Art Gallery but it was closed so we went to the mall, it was good because I bought an Oreo iced cappuccino at Tim Hortons! Then we came back to the Art Gallery and there were some amazing pictures and sculptures like one big bus which was decorated with action figures and it had like a small city around it. After the Art Gallery we saw paintings and fake fishes at "the bay", it was in the Harbourfront where we had our meals to get the energy for roller skating. It was so funny because we had to wear four-wheel skates and I didn't know how to use them.

At the end of our day we went to James North street where it was supposed to be an Art Crawl but it was too soon to see anything, luckily there was the opening of a new chocolate store and we had some snacks! I loved this shop, everything tasted delicious!! 

At the weekend I went to downtown Hamilton again because the Pan Am games were being held there and there was the first soccer game, Canada vs Brazil, and I watched it in the first row, it was awesome and fun. Ainhoa J.

 

 The first art gallery we visited in Hamilton was...interesting. There were some modern artworks like cleaning products on a shelf , that I couldn't understand. There were others that were very surprising and funny. But all these modern artworks were together with beautiful classic pictures of different views or faces, and old sculptures like wood masks, people with no arms...
We went to Lake Ontario where we had lunch near the lake and we went roller-skating. We had a lot of fun there. Carlos G.

 Last Friday we went by different Hamilton neighbourhoods. One of them was called Harbourfront and there we spent all our morning roller skating. At the beginning it was kind of difficult to control them, but then it got quite easier. It was such a funny morning. We also went to the Art Gallery in the centre of Hamilton. The works were very interesting and colourful. Some of them were a bit creepy though, but they were cool. There was a big car full of animated movie characters like Spiderman, Superman, Bart Simpson, Casper... and miniatures of a city's parts such as a park, a Hospital, flats, railways... That car was an excellent artistic work. Marina V.

 

 Last Friday we visired Hamilton. We went to the Art Gallery where we took a lot pictures with different sculptures. We were impressed with one of them; a bus with a lot of little toys around and inside it. After the Art Gallery we went to Lake Ontario where we rented roller skates and had a good time talking and roller skating. At the beginning we were a bit scared because we thought that we were going to use in line rollerblades but we were wrong and we used the other type. It was funny and we had a good time there.
At the end of the day we went to James North street and we visited the Art Crawl where we drew a soccer ball that represents the PanAm games and if one of them wins, it will be published in a newspaper.
Everything has been awesome. Violeta L.
