It’s hard to pick the best thing about living in my city .Along the banks of the Red River, deep in the heart of Louisiana, Alexandria is known as the Crossroads of Louisiana. Close by are the beaches and bayous of the surrounding National Forests, where you can go hiking, camping and fishing. For those who aren’t into those activities there are the museums, plantation homes and shopping. There are also a fabulous zoo and great golf courses. I love the accessibility to all those activities that Alexandria provides.
Bath is a beautiful city - after all, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town centre still contains some beautiful old architecture in the traditional yellow Bath stone and even new buildings are built to match. We have the Roman Baths right in the centre, the Pump Rooms and Bath Abbey. there are lots of cafes and probably the most popular place is Sally Lunn's, traditional tea rooms with a little museum in the cellars. Around Christmas time, people flock to the Christmas market around the abbey, which is full of little chalets filled with goods from indie vendors. All in all, it is a wonderful place to explore on foot, especially as it is fairly small. You can have both a glimpse of historic Bath and enjoy a spot of shopping in indie shops as well as large chains.
One of the best things about living in Sarnia, is that it located right on the edges of Lake Huron meaning we have lots of beautiful parks and beaches to enjoy. Being able to take a walk on the beach and collect rocks and sea glass is one of my favourite things to do. Sarnia is a small town that is full of history, it is known for its historical houses and architecture.
