Sudbury

Sudbury is a city about 8 hours north of Toronto where Brad served for three months on his mission. It's the home to the Giant Nickel because of their nickel mines.


Sudbury Junction isn't the easiest place to walk from with carry ons and a bunch of bags. It is kind of out in the boonies. We were going to walk the 20 minutes to the bus station and take the transit from there to a friend's house. As we were walking down the (I suppose) gravel road (mostly mud) a sweet lady stopped by and insisted she give us a ride to at least the bus station. Once in her car we told her where we were actually going and she said she was going by there anyway. We were very fortunate as we weren't quite use to the humidity and the short distance we had already walked was tiring us out.

We stayed at Matt's house (Bradley baptized him when he was there) it was so nice to finally put a face and personality to his name and stories.



There first day there we visited the Giant Nickel and did a mine tour. I now know a lot more about mining then I ever thought I would know, but it was fun. In the same building they had a bit of a science center there for kids (but we enjoyed it too) all focused on mining and minerals.




 I don't know why, but I found all the graffiti there beautiful. They actually advertise it as one of the things to do as a tourist there.

Brad also showed me around and recounted memories from his mission. We had a really good time there, and I'm glad Brad got the chance to reminisce. We are really blessed to be able to have this experience.
