Maybe it’s how few people are being let in to Canada or the sensible limited hours and closings of buildings, but Ottawa is one laid back city. We spent the day taking in the plethora of public art of this extremely walkable Canadian capitol. The architecture, the blend of styles, the way nature is incorporatedContinue reading “Ottawa in review”

Quebec in review
Maybe it’s the time of year or the signs written in French, the slopes of fall color, but Quebec reminds me so much of Switzerland. We crossed into Canada and saw mountains of gold and red and all shades in between that rolled on forever—farther than any mountains I have ever seen. It’s simply gorgeousContinue reading “Quebec in review”
Podcast: Joe
When we met Joe outside that brewery in Xenia, we had been driving by in our bus and saw a really sharp looking bus. Joe is a one-man bus-renovating machine.
Playlist: Canada
O Canada! What a country! The sights make my heart sing. Fortunately, my heart songs aren’t available on Spotify. So instead here’s a few tunes that mention our northern neighbor. It’s a bit of a Last Waltz reunion here…
Border Crossing
Crossing into Canada is no small task right now. When we were staying in Lubec, a local man said very flatly, “The Canadians—they don’t want you.” And that is probably true. America’s response to COVID has been an embarrassment and frankly we put more than ourselves at danger by being so collectively irresponsible.
Maine: the last part
Maine was wonderful to say the absolute least. Picturesque. Friendly. Quiet. We had originally planned to spend 4-5 days in Maine. We ended up being here for 14 days and enjoyed nearly every minute of it (especially once we got north of Portland).
Maine, Part IV
Like I said in my last Maine post, see Acadia. Go for a day or three and say you did it. Then boogie north as fast as you can. (Or maybe go slowly and stop at the farmstands and every scenic lookout like we do.) Because the state parks up here in the most easterlyContinue reading “Maine, Part IV”
Podcast: Kevin
Grab a cup of Blue Bus Coffee, everyone. That’s Kevin Anderson’s own coffee company, by the way. Rest assured, you won’t need the jolt to keep you awake though. Kevin has some wild stories to tell from his time riding around out west.
Peace Love and Waffles
What a find! Just when I thought life in Maine couldn’t get any better, any more scenic and delectable—this happened. A little unassuming breakfast place in an old farmstead called Peace Love and Waffles. The food is perhaps—no, definitely without a doubt—the best breakfast food I’ve ever had. Bar none.
Maine, part 3
Acadia National Park—it’s well worth seeing. We did the seaside trail walk, which allowed us to see some of the more famous spots. We also hiked South Bubble and Acadia Mountain. Although we did wake up early enough to summit Cadillac Mountain for its famed sunrise hike, the trailheads were already packed. We opted toContinue reading “Maine, part 3”
