Last fall, a young Ontario girl named Annaleise Carr visited Camp Trillium for children
with cancer and was so moved that she asked to volunteer – but at 13 she was too young to
help. Instead, the toothy girl from Norfolk County decided to raise money for the camp by
becoming the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario.

As sunset faded into Sunday evening, the 14-year-old girl approached Marilyn Bell Park,
on Lakeshore Drive in Toronto. She touched the wall just before 9 p.m., then turned around
and hugged her swim coach, Lisa Anderson, who accompanied her on a Zodiac boat. While
dozens cheered and applauded, she climbed up the pier, was wrapped in a towel and hugged by
her family. A few minutes later, she sat on a lawn chair and was checked by Mark Ghesquiere,
a doctor who had followed her by boat with a support team. She was then taken to hospital for

Queen’s Royal Park in Niagara-on-the-Lake. She was initially helped by the push from the
Niagara River’s current but soon was slowed by wind. Waves began getting higher and higher,
reaching 1.5 metres. For hours, she also faced a 10-knot head wind and the water temperature
cooled to 13 degrees. The weather was better through Sunday but she began cramping in the
afternoon and a physiotherapist on the boat prescribed stretching exercises.

The main attraction for people seeking indoor nature in Canada’s metropolis is the Biodome,
an indoor garden with animals and plants from all over the Americas. The Biodome is
especially popular in the wintertime. The botanical garden has a number of greenhouses.
Orchid gardens and a tropical rainforest greenhouse can be found on the grounds, while other
10 garden’s exhibition greenhouses alter every season.

Not every indoor garden is housed in a purpose-built greenhouse. Madrid’s Atocha Train
Station is a perfect example of such a place. It does get very busy, but a massive garden
boasting more than 7,000 plants representing 260 species gives it a quiet atmosphere, even
at rush hour. There is also a pond that serves as a turtle sanctuary, in addition to housing a

“Yoo hoo. You in the tent,” the ranger at DeGray Lake Resort State Park called to my friends
and me. He told us  __________. We checked our watches: it was 9:35. After a trip to the
visitors’ centre, we knew we were lucky to get one of the park’s last vacant sites.

Though there are several U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ campgrounds surrounding the
13,800-acre lake, visitors who want to occupy one of the 113 sites at Arkansas’s only resort

At the park’s marina, my companion and I – along with 13 kids and nine other adults – boarded

anxiously waited to get wet as  __________. When one of the kids asked her about
alligators, she said – much to our relief – that the water was too cold for them. But it soon
proved the perfect temperature for us.

We plopped into the water. There was about 12 feet of visibility, but on a good day, Kelly said,
