“It was breathtaking seeing someone else’s view of your country!”
When Gioia first arrived in Canada, we decided to bring her to Toronto and Niagara Falls the first weekend as this is where we are originally from. Our first stop was downtown Toronto. Watching the amazement in Gioia’s eyes was beautiful, she had never seen anything like it. The billboards are 30-50 feet tall surrounding the square. The following day, we went to Niagara Falls and again her reaction was wonderful! It was breathtaking seeing someone else’s view of your country.
