Day 14: Morning off, Montreal Traffic, le Cote Sud…
It’s amazing that in the 14 days I’ve been traveling I’ve only slept 3 nights, including tonight in Rivière-du-Loup, in a motel. I am blessed with beautiful, caring, generous, and loving friends. I’ve slept on the floor (on couch cushions), on a couple of couches, about 5 comfy beds and one….very hard one, tonight! I’m…

Day 12 into Day 13: Dawn, 5 lanes & back to the city…
Monday’s blog, Day 12, was written before the day was finito. Knowing I was intending on leaving before dawn yesterday morning (day 13), I packed up as much as I could before my friend Tom and I went off to Cambridge (not too far away) to meet our other friend, Dan. More hellos, hugs and…

Day 11 into Day 12… Buffooning & regrouping
I just reviewed my previous posts and realized I was very mixed up in my day numbers. They’ve been adjusted and all is correct now. I’m losing track of the time! And… where I am now? 🙂 Yesterday, day eleven was a special day as I was booked for a Buffoonery Workshop in Hamilton. Five…

Day 9 into Day 10… Obstacles & A Festival..
Day nine…. my roughest day thus far. But, it could have been rougher. I decided to take a short cut. Through the States. I could see it would cut off a lot of time. My friends in Sault Ste. Marie strongly encouraged me. And, I had my passport.

Day 7 into Day 8…. trucks, rocks, trees… repeat..
I’m being silly. But, isn’t that what this is about? Sometimes, anyway. Actually, as most of you know, a road trip provides much time for thinking, contemplation (same thing), assessing, life evaluation, goals, dreams, and where the next gas up and pee stop is, and should I get bad coffee or hang in for a…

Day Six: Coffee, Contemplation, and a picnic…
I kept yesterday’s promise: an earlier start and a real Americano from Atlantis Coffee in Regina. Set my first complete solo day off perfectly. Then, one great silly moment with two Manitobians (again). And, one major refusal by three Saskatchewan morning smokers. I comforted myself by being extra nice to them and said at least…

Day Four into Five: Bug splats…
Last silliness in Banff, rockies drama: a bear eating something big, Sunday traffic, bug splats, straight roads, watching the ditches at dusk for glowing eyes and leaping ungulates, super moon, super glowing orange ball in my rear-view mirror, Peter Gabriel singing in my car: “Drawn across the plain lands to the place that is higher….”

Day Two into Three into Four…. whew
It’s a series of hellos and goodbyes and the leaving is always harder than the arrival. Kaleden was heavenly. Then the drive up the Okanagan Valley was slow and beautiful. (slow because of traffic and also because of silly people seeking) I’m super grateful for my new air conditioning experience as…

Day One to Two: Vancouver to Kaleden….
Took me awhile to get out of Vancouver as loading a car for an indefinite time on the road is tricky. But… I got there. Managed to freeze a few blueberries for future smoothies before I left, too! First stop and last stop before hitting the road: the Pacific Ocean and my first encounter making…

Road Trip Silliness…. in North Vancouver!
The fun silly part of my road trip began yesterday at the awesome Daisy Sandwiches and Such in North Vancouver! Yesterday, I got a great send off with my BRIX networking gang! They’re not afraid of their bouffons! The competition is ON! Who is silliest in Canada?
