Casa Loma

July 15th

After lunch today, we left the college, took the TTC, and off we go: to Casa Loma! Just a short review of this beautiful castle:

Casa Loma is the Spanish for "House on the Hill" and was built by Sir Henry Pellat. Sir Henry travelled a lot to Europe and he saw a lot of beautiful houses. He, then, developed a dream, which was built the most beautiful and the most modern castle to his wife. Later, he built Casa Loma, and hosted many parties in it. But, because he was the party guy, he went bankrupt, and the government took over the castle. Now, it's a tourist attraction that attracts many people from all over the world.

When I enter the castle, I was left in awe. This castle is more beautiful than my house! It was elegant! It's not exactly modern to this days, but in those times, it most have been really high tech. The point is that I walked through all his house, and I visit his room, his wife's room and everything. I even got to go to his bathroom (I couldn't use it though) and I was liked: "This bathroom is bigger than mines!"

What I noticed was that their beds were wide, but short. I, then, assumed that they were really shorties... How tall was Sir Henry Pellat?
