Merve, Nancy and Meliha on the Black Sea
Level 2
I visited eastern Turkey 12 years ago.
With a group of people in a small bus, I saw many places.
For three days we stayed in the beautiful old city of Amasya.
This city is close to the Black Sea.
My friend and I walked all over the city.
Shop windows were full of delicious food.
We tasted Turkish ice cream and other sweet treats.
People smiled when we tried to speak Turkish.

Quesnel, B.C., is part of the Cariboo District of British Columbia.
We stopped there on our road trip last summer.
It was a charming city with a population of about 25,000.
A hidden treasure
One of our favorite spots in Quesnel
was the Quesnel and District Museum.
It is tucked beside the Visitor Centre at 705 Carson Avenue.

The 4-H Club started 98 years ago, in 1914.
The goal of 4-H was to help youth
learn skills in agriculture. But now you do not need
to live on a farm to join a 4-H program.
You do not even have to own an animal.
There are 2,162 members in 4-H in B.C.
