A Huge Thanks To Our Canadian Friends - Remembering April 14 2014

This was the morning we took off for our Canada tour.  April 14, 2014.  The trip of a lifetime.  We learned so much, visited a lot of Rver's we had met and some we hadn't.  We ate a lot and that included fish and chips, Copper River salmon, Mexican food, pizza on the grill, chile enogada, lobster and so much more.

Canada is a beautiful country.  We were shocked by the cleanliness and the beauty.  We talk about the trip all the time.  The longest RV trip we have ever taken and hope it's not the last.  The beauty of Vancouver Island, Kelowna, all of BC, Saskatchewan with its rolling hills and the fields of Alberta.  Our dip down into the states around the Great Lakes with the Mennonites, home-cooked meals, friends in Chicago.  We returned up through Detroit which was a shocking experience and then crossing into Windsor and on through Ontario.   The history of the First Nations, curling, and the first settlers.   Flying to Nova Scotia and seeing even more beauty.

A bit verklempt with the current shelter in place and seeing so many rvers still moving around in the U.S.  I know this will pass but again, we are grateful for all our Canadian friends and their hospitality.  Also, to remember my brother Steve and my SIL Michelle who rv'ed with us in Oregon for a week.  

One thing we would change, the time we spend there.  Next time, seven months.

  2. When I sit looking out my window at the mountains, trees and clear skies it's hard to believe there is a pandemic. We truly do live in paradise. If you ever get back to Canada we have a spot for you to park in beautiful Terrace BC.

    1. Yes, Kathy and Eric's area around Terrace is unique. Put it on your list for next time and I just may follow you up there! It was so nice to have you up here and you are right, the time you allowed for your trip was too short!
