Traveling Across Canada by Foot and Thumb - Arcadia, Quebec, the Great Lakes, the Prarie, the Canadian Rockies, and British Columbia
My trip across Canada caused me to fall in love with the country and her people. Both of my grandmothers had roots in Canada. On my mother's side - her grandmother was from Moncton, New Brunswick and on my father's side - his mother was from Victoria, British Columbia. If you look at genetic nationality, I guess that makes me 3/8ths Canadian - so it's not a big surprise that I would love the place. The other 5/8ths were old American families rooted in California and Washington by way of Texas and Michigan - but none of that really matters. What matters is that Canada blew my mind. Yes, there were some hardships - in particular, one night in Ontario when the weather dropped below freezing - also, the black flies and the Mounties in Ontario were pretty rough on me as I tried to find rides - but mostly - Canada was beautiful, welcoming, and warm. The Canadian people reminded me of how truly good humans can be. Thank you Canada.
