Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Hi All, Lovin it, Canada is fantastic!!! I'm presently at a campground in Middleton, Nova Scotia. I've been on the road 6 days so far and decided to take a day off. The great owners of the campground are letting me use their computer since the library is closed today. Only a few equipment glitches so far. I never was able to get my Coleman stove to work. I bought an MSR and although it works, I don't like it! Would love to have my Coleman. Coleman is actually going to pickup ( at my mothers place in Maine) the recalcitrant [View Full Entry]

A neat looking bridge near Martin's cove while driving on Hyw # 3.

So we arrived into Halifax at about 6 pm last night. We found our hotel without any concerns. The only concern being we are downtown and there isn't any parking. The good thing about a rental car is that you don't really care about parking it is a no parking zone!! We are staying at the Delta Barrington. We have an awesome King size bed and have started to wonder why we don't have one of these at home... Anyhow yesterday went by super fast. We woke up early at Peggy's Cove B & B had breakfast and than walked about [View Full Entry]

Breanna Lynn

Last night (May 15) at 10:55 Breanna Lynn decided she had spent enough time inside her mommy. She weighed in at 8lb 11 1/2 oz (1/2 oz more than Nathan's birth weight) and measured 21" in length. Labour and delivery went smoothly and quickly. Born to Jeremy and Sara Jo Kuehner (daughter of Pastor Rich and Lynette) [View Full Entry]

Camping in P.E.I.
Gerry at our campground in Rustico, P.E.I.

In July 1997, not long after the completion of the Confederation bridge, my sister, Gerry and I took a short trip to Rustico Prince Edward Island. We wanted to familiarize ourselves with a part of our family history. Our great grandfather left the island in the mid 1800's to resettle in St Alexis de Matapedia. We were only there for two nights. The first night, we set up our little tent, I thought it was a lot of fun, but my sister wasn't particularly happy with being awakened by the crows at the break of dawn. So the next night, we [View Full Entry]

It seems to be so small...

Hallo Ihr Lieben, da wir nicht wissen, ob unsere Internet Connection hier noch lange hält, schreiben wir schon mal vor und halten soweit alles wichtige - oder zumindest das was uns wichtig erscheint - festzuhalten. Let´s start with da good news: Unser Bulli ist da, faleri und falera!!! Nun ist es allerdings so, dass unsere anfängliche Euphorie ein wenig in den Keller ging. Als erstes haben wir gemerkt, dass alles - jaaaaaaaaa... ALLES!!! - durchwühlt wurde. Naja, dachten wir, ist ja nicht so schlimm, man hat ja schliesslich nichts zu verbergen. Aber auch nichts zu verschenken. Nach [View Full Entry]

Halifax die Zweite...

North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax

Hallo an alle Stubenhocker, Faulenzer, Zu-Hause-Bleiber und sonstige, die wir lieben!! Let´s start with some basic facts: Mittlerweile ist es Mittwoch und unser Standort hat sich noch nicht geändert. Sind immer noch im Supa-Dupa Delta Hotel und geniessen die (noch!) tägliche Dusche. Eben waren wir beim Spediteur. Das Schiff und somit auch unser kleines Zuhause ist planmässig heute morgen im Hafen von Halifax eingelaufen, PUH! Die Dame ausm Büro war sehr nett und hat uns sämtliche Sorgen genommen. Je nach Lust und Laune des Zolls können wir den Wagen entweder morgen oder am Freitag entgege [View Full Entry]

Halifax I

Hallo Ihr Lieben, erst mal schön, dass Ihr den Weg zu unserem Blog gefunden habt. Ist echt ne gute Sache, so sind wir immer ein wenig bei Euch. Hier ist alles in Ordnung. Der Flug ist gut verlaufen, so ein Tagflug hat echt einiges für sich. Während man sich nach einer Nacht im Flieger fühlt wie "hingekackt und hingeschissen", sind wir nach einer Nacht Erholung sehr fit. Natürlich merken wir die Zeitverschiebung - bzw. unsere Körper. Könnten schon schlafen, obwohl es hier erst 16h00 ist. Ich - Alex - könnte praktisch den ganzen Tag mampfen, denn es ist ja ständig Essenszeit, [View Full Entry]

Flying squirrels, Christmas and home time

G'day I hope everyone had a wonderful break, and all the best for 2008. When the snow arrived on the 1st of December, I thought I was guaranteed a white Christmas. The snow continued to pile up until Christmas eve, when it suddenly turned warm (as in above 0) and began to rain. So I sat next to Elisa's awesome Christmas tree and watched out the window as the snow bit by bit disappeared. You can imagine my relief, when we arrived at Elisa's parent's place on Christmas day to discover that the snow had remained there. So I got my [View Full Entry]
