O Canada!

Now, I am not a world traveler.  In fact I have a very limited experience, only having been to three other countries besides the US.  So by no means am I an expert, nor will I consider myself "well traveled" until I have at least a few more stamps in my passport...

However, I just got back from spending a week in Grande Prairie, AB... for those not willing to Google, that's Alberta, Canada!

My time there was spent with a very dear, close friend!  We drove around town, went to the museums, walked through parks, went for rides, visited her friends & family, cooked, did yard work, shopped, went swimming... I only scratch the surface...

Not withstanding the metric system, which I now wholeheartedly believe one must be immersed in it to fully understand it; I experienced, felt, learned, and observed quite a bit in my week there!  Perhaps I will share some of it in the months to come.

But for now, next time you get a Canadian coin... like a penny, nickle, dime, or quarter... don't fret it!  In Canada, there is no discrimination between Canadian and US coinage of the lesser denominations... however; you better stick with the Loonies and Toonies!  And if traveling there, when you arrive at an International Airport, most often you can pay with US Dollars and ask for change in Canadian Dollars... just a tip/hint...

Peace!
