Oh, Canada Feb 06


Our friendly & majestic neighbor to the the north. Often overlooked. I am a fan of train travel & I’ve written about the Canadian Rockies by Rail several times since I experienced it myself. As I’ve said many times, I would do this trip again – albeit on a different route. If it has been on your Travel Wish List, now is the time to seriously consider it for 2022!

Enjoy a 2 minute video preview

Must Love Dogs
These 2 local Film Institute students interviewed me on the street. Then I tuned the tables on them & asked them all about Lil Otis here.
He’s a great little ambassador. Obviously, well cared for – came prepared w/ food, water, water cup, leash w/ plastic bags.
Puppy Love, ya think?
