And so here it is the middle of November, and we have moved to Victoria, BC. On October 3rd we sent our belongings off on a truck, we packed our car full of the bits, we said goodbye to family & friends in Ontario, and we hit the road.We spent the weekend visiting family in Bracebridge, Ontario and then drove west towards Sault Ste. Marie for our first stopover. The weather was beautiful.Driving towards Thunder Bay we stopped in Wawa for lunch. It was desolate and raining.Lake Superior is vast, the largest of the Great Lakes. We had ‘The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald’ {Gordon Lightfoot} playing in our heads.
Saying goodbye to the pink granite of Northern Ontario.Snow welcomes our morning drive out of Ontario.But the sunshine returned as we drove through Manitoba – sigh – hello Prairies, my home land.Leaving Saskatchewan in mid-October after a wonderful family Thanksgiving weekend.Nearing Canmore, Alberta, and the majestic Three Sisters {Faith, Charity and Hope}
The turquoise water of Lake Louise. The air was crystal pure & crisp.A favourite part of our drive was through the Interior Plateau near Kamloops, BC, and onto the Coquihalla Highway. And up, up, up towards the Coquihalla Summit.Nearing the end of our beautiful road trip, and looking forward to being on the ferry over to Vancouver Island.And so, here we are. Wherever you go, there you’ll be. Time to build a new stone collection.
