The summing up is a great idea and a true grand finale! What do cutter bees do?
A couple things of which I took note:
Quidi Vidi.. a small lake, village and brewery near St. John's, NL.. Loosely translated from Latin, ignoring grammatical errors, means "What I saw"
Burma-Shave slogans in Illinois, such as this one, were both interesting and a little scary: Roses are Red; My Gun is Blue; I am Safe; How about You.. Gunssavelife.com
Having to crawl under a desk to plug in the coffee maker in order to make coffee in the hotel room was NOT my favourite thing to do!
Pohénégamook... now what kind of a word is that?!! After leaving Quebec City, as we neared our 1st stop (Rivière-du-Loup), the sign intrigued me, so I had to look it up. Pohénégamook is a US/Canada border town, sharing the border with Estcourt Station, Maine. It is located on the Southern and Western shores of Lake Pohénégamook.. We didn't actually go there, because we were going to drive around the Gaspé Peninsula, however, this inquiring mind, just had to know!
I am so happy we made this trip.. we covered such a small portion of the vast lands that are Canada, however it is enough to know that next time I fly to my favourite spots (Ottawa, Quebec City, St. John's) and spend more time enjoying those cities and all they have to offer!!
Everyone should drive across Canada at least once
