Dear Perla...

My vacations in Alberta were awesome, the place has big mountains with snow on the top, the weather is freezing cold but is better with a good jacket. I stayed in a four star hotel isn't five stars and the service is so good, I can do activities like skiing and snowboarding. Alberta has a big variety of restaurants in the region including the exotic drinks prepared. For entertainment  this place has the Olympic Oval, the princess theatre and the Spruce Meadows where the horses races start, Alberta, Canada is a good place for vacation. I hope to see you soon.

Greetings, Carolina L.G

Netherlands

Netherlands:

The Netherlands is the main constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is a small, densely populated country, lying mainly in Western Europe, but also including three islands in the Caribbean. The European part of the Netherlands borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, sharing maritime borders with Belgium, the United Kingdom and Germany. The largest and most important cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Amsterdam is the country's capital, while The Hague holds the Dutch seat of government and parliament. The port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe as large as the next three largest combined. 

The Netherlands' name literally means "Low Country", inspired by its low and flat geography, with only about 50% of its land exceeding one metre above sea level.

 Most of the areas below sea level are man-made. Since the late 16th century, large areas (polders) have beenreclaimed from the sea and from lakes, amounting to nearly 17% of the country's current land mass.
