OLD AGE
I love travelling. It has been my dream since my youth. I have traveled a lot, but I'd like to travel more. So, I plan to travel around the world after retiring. I hope to be healthy when I get older especially after 65 years old to be able to realize my dream. I'm sure I will not feel well if I lose my health as not to be so active to enjoy enough of my old age. I do my best to be healthy; although I have diabetes now, it can't stop me from reaching this dream. However, I want to live as long as I'm healthy and active and can do everything for myself. It means that it doesn't matter how old I hope to be. Life is joyous for me as long as I can stand and walk and carry out my duties. I don't like to bother anybody else because of my illness and old age.

Ginseng Farm
One morning in class, Joseph announced to us a field trip to Great Mountain Ginseng Farm and Pillitteri Winery, located on the road to Niagara-on-the-Lake in St. Catherines. When I got home, I told my wife about it, and she agreed to go with me.
On the agreed Friday morning that the weather was foggy, my wife and I drove to MicroSkills to meet Joseph and the others in the parking lot. At 9:15, we started towards the destination in five cars. On the way Hamid called and told me that Ming is going too with three people. We met them at the ginseng farm.
After watching a video in the ginseng farm`s store about this herb and a walking tour to the demo farm with a guide, we got back to the store, and some of us bought some of their products.
After leaving the farm, we drove to Pillitteri Winery, where we met Mrs. Pillitteri, one of the owners. She served some of us wines and sweet non-alcohol beverages. Then she explained the history of this winery, of how it was established in the 18th century by Mr. Pillitteri who immigrated to Canada from Italy. She also led us to the vineyard and then showed us barrels of red wines stored in the cellar of the winery. Before leaving the winery, some of us bought a bottle or more of their products.
After that, some of us turned back to Toronto and the others went to Niagara-on-the-Lake, a beautiful and lovely town with a marvelous sight of mountains on the west side and a spectacular view of Lake Ontario on the north side of the town.
Niagara Falls, one of the most amazing places in the world was my last destination along with four others.
Thanks to Joseph, MicroSkills and all the people who arranged this fun and educational field trip.
