Today I find myself in Port Royal, Jamaica, hunting for pirates! Port Royal was a major trading port and was frequented by pirate back in the 1600's. Now, Port Royal is a sleepy fishing village, but the rum is still good.</div>

Today I find myself in a Gnome auction at the Better Gnome and Gardens show in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Today we are having an auction for charity. The Senators Foundation helps to promote physical and mental wellness in kids. It's a great cause that is drawing the attention of the home and garden crowd. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A great charity and seasonal treat that makes you want to tend to the garden. Now, if the snow would just melt.</div>

Today I find myself exploring the historic Fort George, in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada. The scarlet red uniforms are very sharp looking. But life for an 1800's soldier looks a little too rough for me. I'll stick to the garden. </div>

Dear travel diary;</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today I find myself on a wine tour of the Pillitteri Estates winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON. A wonderful tour, full of free samples and great stories of the Pillitteri heritage. The Carretto or Sicilian Cart (which is a center piece on both their label and in their showroom) was a preferred method of transportation in Sicily up until the end of the second world war. The Carretto that is on display is one of four that was passed down through the Pillitteri family.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The wine cellar, the vineyards, the manufacturing, all top notch and worth a trip. The only concern I have is who's going to drive me home after I sample all this fabulous wine? </div>

<p dir="ltr">Today I find myself visiting Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.   An exciting place,  full of things to do.   A walk along the famous Clifton hill is full of museums and horror shops. In fact we even saw one of the haunted houses catch on fire!  Later we saw the hydro electric generation station. The most impressive was the Brock monument. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In the evening we even watched the fireworks over the falls! </p>

It's a beautiful volcanic island of the coast of Portugal. After a beer or two, we took the long trek up the side of the mountain to the monument at the top. From up here you have a great view of the coast line and harbour below.<br />
<br />
Now for the long trek down the mountain. I should have brought more beer.<br />

A beautiful drive through many small towns along Hwy 60. But make sure you have a full tank of gas. There isn't any gas stations once you hit the entrance of the park.<br />
<br />
If you keep a keen eye on the road, you'll find all kinds of things. Everything from a monument of the Avro Arrow, careless bears who'll sit on you, to even mouse nibbling on the grass next to the road!<br /><br /> Sincerely Nestor the Gnome<br />

<br />
Today I'm feeling my age. After a hard climb up the Whiteface mountain, I've decided to retire. I needed a little "repair", but after the glue dried, I was back in the garden. After a long but great journey, it's time to pass on the torch and spend my remaining days enjoying the simple life in the garden.<br />
<br />
But don't worry my loyal fans...the journey is not over yet. My son "the Doctor" is ready to stretch his legs.<br />
<br />
Sincerely Nestor the Gnome<br />

<br />
Today I'm made it up Whiteface mountain! It's 4867 feet up was a gruelling climb for such a little Gnome. I started up the winding Veteran's Memorial Highway, all the way to the top of the mountain. It wasn't easy. I even had a little accident and barely was able to make it to the top.<br />
<br />
But don't worry about me...After a little glue, I'll be just fine.<br />
<br />
Sincerely Nestor the Gnome<br />

<br />
Today I'm finding it a little chilly here in New York. It must because I've found the North Pole! It's full of man made snow, elves and oddly, Christmas music.<br />
<br />
I don't think this is the "real" North Pole.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I'm visiting the smallest place on the map. The busy hamlet of Jay sits quietly in the state of New York.<br />
<br />
Don't blink, you'll miss it. I almost did.<br />

This is just a beautiful city. Full of rich history and hidden gems. A walk around the Citadelle and you can find evidence of wars long forgotten.<br />
<br />
One of the coolest things I've seen today is a cannon ball swallowed by a tree!<br />
