The Last Spike - National Historic Site

 I was here before in the year 1992 together with my husband. This is my second time to visit the heritage site of the "Last Spike" together with my husband and daughter and it's good to know that there's improvement in promoting the site of the first start of Canadian Pacific Railway which features also a tribute to the Civil Engineers who surveyed and supervised the construction of the railway from 1876 to 1885.

 Tam, you nailed it!

 You nailed it again!

 You think it's the last spike? There'll be more spikes ahead. Well, who knows?

 And I nailed it too!

It's so good to see so many people in a historic site like this one. I have seen so many asian people who pay (paid) attention to this very nostalgic one of a kind museum of art and what more realistic here is you get to feel the aura and the emotions put into place of what happened so many years ago. Did you know that there was a "movie" produced about the asian people (mostly Chinese) who suffered, injured and died in the construction of the Canadian railways.

WE, the living are fortunate enough to see, touch and feel maybe perceive what else is there for us to know. Knowledge is power! We should be grateful, thankful for their valor, patience, virtue and noble sacrifices.
