Well, here we are in Port Hope and our room is just perfect, like it always is. Have stayed at this hotel for about 12 years and it is like a second home!
At the travel stop, we encountered two friendly Maritimers. One asked me if I belonged to the "Texas Truck" out there?
The other pointed out to us that we were at the full service pump. (You may have heard about full service gas pumps . . . where someone else pumps your gas! Old fashioned or what?)
We bought my birthday gift which is a digital camera - Yeah! Can you believe it? Now, I just have to learn how to use it!
Had the rest of our food that we bought from the deli and tonight . . . Yes tonight! - it will be Swiss Chalet . . . Okay?
Two or three more things I have not mentioned because we are used to it, but perhaps my Texan friends are not!
Canada is a metric country - for the miles, the food, for weights and measures, period!
Canada is bilingual and many signs are in both French and English.
Metropolitan Toronto Area (or GTA - Greater Toronto Area) is not only multicultural, and very diverse, it is jam-packed, even up to the north where we were staying. In case you forgot, the figure was 5.5 million population.
Ah, yes, you knew the gal would sell me the camera . . . she said I did not seem old enough to have been at my 50th High School Reunion!
Jam-packed with really nice people and fast driving! You gotta love it!
