It was very serene and beautiful and I've not experienced such a place that even remotely resembles it since that time.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-5209799540605775422008-05-15T10:14:00.000-05:002008-05-15T10:14:00.000-05:00Alvin,We had no opportunity to pick up an accent. ...Alvin,<BR/><BR/>We had no opportunity to pick up an accent. We neither saw nor talked to any Canadians for most of our week. We just figured everyone must be off at a hockey game, or perhaps they saw us coming and simply went to hide the beer. However, I think I heard one of the loons calling out, "Good day, eh."Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-24971983591970465182008-05-14T15:03:00.000-05:002008-05-14T15:03:00.000-05:00Joel!I loved your story!

It was kind of a mix between <I>Nat'l Lampoon's Vacation</I> and <I>Weekend at Bernie's</I>.<BR/><BR/>In <I>Vacation</I>, remember how Aunt Edna died and they put her up on the roof of the car? Well, we did the same with this guy, only it was inside the van. We were a little more respectful.<BR/><BR/>And you know how in <I>Weekend at Bernie's</I> they carried Bernie around and made everyone think he was still alive? Well, that guy in the one picture in my slide show who was 'diving' off a cliff... is the same dead guy in the van! Did you know dead people float???<BR/><BR/>Nobody even figured out our scam!Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-91345796540205610872008-05-13T15:53:00.000-05:002008-05-13T15:53:00.000-05:00Great pictures.

Makes me want to visit Canada. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing how much more clearly we can experience Father's presence when we're away from the hustle and bustle of every day life and are where we can enjoy the beauty of his creation. At least, that's true for me.<BR/><BR/>I do have a dumb question, though? What is portaging?<BR/><BR/>AidaAidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-25039155318687463622008-05-13T04:41:00.000-05:002008-05-13T04:41:00.000-05:00I think we were invaded (by the shear numbers) gig...I think we were invaded (by the shear numbers) giggle.<BR/><BR/>Yup can hear the Loons and fish jumping - you should consider a repeat back into the bush.<BR/><BR/>Maybe called it walkingchurch!<BR/><BR/>thanks for sharing the pics...by the way it looked like you had a dead guy in the back of the pickup (plaid sheets)Walking Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108948078929712054noreply@blogger.com
