Itch, I swear I saw the Virgin Mary in that turkey!
I hope you post a rolling travelogue as you check out sites in Canada. I've always been fascinated with the western plains provinces--and the Northwest Territories (did you know that Joni Mitchell is from the NW Territories?). I'm interested in Labrador and Newfoundland, too--but any of those places would be way too cold for me.
Northeast Quebec has some of the loveliest countryside I've ever seen.
Looking forward to your notes and reflections!
