Man, what a trip. As much fun as it was, it’s good to be back in Ottawa. Over the past few days the thing I looked most forward to was sleeping in a room that was not wall-to-wall curtainless windows.
To be properly rested I need darkness (or a second pillow to block out the light).
I managed to drive almost 3,500 km (that’s 63,000 miles for my US readership) in a little over 62 hours and (like all my travel adventures) this one was a journey of discovery. Here are the things I learned and observations I observed during this trip.
1. America has the best highways. Sorry Germany.
2. America is a large country, maybe even bigger than Canada.
3. Contrary to popular legend, vampires do not roam the countryside.
4. Gasoline is cheaper in America than in Canada.
5. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
6. For a brief period back in 2008, Canada had an opportunity to purchase America.
7. More twins are born per capita in New Haven CT than anywhere else in the world.
8. This house is pretty.
Thanks to Tom for the digs on Wednesday. You are a star my friend, a shining, shooting, rising star. Thanks again.
