Canada posts - me & oren

I met up with Oren in a place called Kingston. We went on a boat cruise there to see the "thousand islans". There are many many many islands there, some big enough only for a tree to grown on, some big enough for a house. There are many people living there - they each have a little island of their own with a house and a little pier on it.

After the cruise we went back into town where we stayed on a retired ship called the "Alexander Henry". We even ended up sleeping in the same bed ;)

After spending the night in Kingston we continued to Montreal and walked about a little. Oren showed me a great place to stay right in the middle of the old city. Everything inside is made of wood and was constructed by the family operating the place.

We wandered the streets a little and after that Oren went back to the states and I stayed several more days in Montreal (more on that later)

Canada posts - toronto and niagra falls

Now that we have this blog going i thought we'd start with a test posting. I am actually in Israel by now but lets pretend I'm not :)
This is Toronto's CN tower - highest free standing building in the world. I went up there but the view isn't worth mentioning. The good thing is that you can stand on a glass floor and look directly down, that was kinda nice.


After wandering Toronto's streets for a while I met up with my parents and sister and we spent some time together. We also went to Niagra falls, but I'm sure you've heard enough about them by now so I won't go into any boring details right now. It was pretty cool and the cruise to the bottom of the falls was also great fun - if you ever go there I would recommend it.

The Renegades' Notes

Four years ago, when Oren and Ofer went to their trip to South America, I had this idea to make a site, through which all of us - those who stayed in Israel and those who travel - could share news, pictures, comments or just thoughts. This would provide a better way of communication than email, since everybody would be able to see what others posted. But such a site was a lot of work to build.
The blogger site, however, provides such a possibility in zero-work. So now, when even more of us are abroad, I thought it will be a good idea to open such a blog.
Some old stuff will be there too, like old school diaries and 56 jokes.
About the blog's name:

Ren·e·gade (rĕn'ĭ-gād') n.
One who rejects a religion, cause, allegiance, or group for another; a deserter.
An outlaw; a rebel.adj.
Of, relating to, or resembling a
renegade; traitorous.intr.v., -gad·ed, -gad·ing, -gades.
To become a deserter or an outlaw.

Well, obviously, we are all a bit of "renegades" :) Not in a bad meaning of the word, but still. Some for going to the other places, some for staying when they were supposed to go (that's would be me, when I didn't go to SA)

So, you are all invited to contribute. I'll send you invitations to join and some guidelines.
The design of the page is not final - I'll be working on it, comments and advices are most welcome.
