It’s Day One!!!!
I woke up super early and moved my bed after some manoeuvring
out of it, so I could pee. I then sat in
my seat and watched the scenery go by. I
have no idea where we are exactly; I just know we are for sure in the Canadian
Shield. I was watching the sun fully
rise when I noticed a movement out of the corner of my eye. It was a Moose!!! It did not have antlers so it could have been
a female, or it was too early in the spring for them to have them. (They shed them at some point yanno!) I am awed by the amount of lakes and silver
birches around . If you don’t like the
lake you are looking at wait a couple minutes, there will be another one. LOL Mom
and I headed towards the dining car, which is 5 cars away. It is quite a trip and when we get there we
had to give our name to Bill the activity car steward for seating. I must say everyone in this train is super
nice and we were soon seated. We both
had omeletes and they were super yummy!
There are so many people here from so many places. There is a group from all America called Road
Scholars. There are people from
Portugal, Japan, China and those are just the ones I have seen! And of course the requisite contention of
Canadians! French and English speaking. We hung out in the activity car after
Breakfast. Lots of coffee, water, juice,
fruit and snacks. Mom and I played a
dice game and then several rounds of crazy eights. I totally kicked her butt! LOL
With this trip we are continuing the story of the
sheep. We brought along Number 58 and
1/16. They played the dice game. 58 cheats.
Last night they slept above me in my shower bag. What can you do? Sheep are funny creatures. They are enjoying the ride and hanging
around. Teehee.
After lunch we decided to hang out in our
cabins. I know I napped. I got some
stuff ready for tomorrow and I am getting my blog ready to post for you all in
Winnipeg. There is no wifi service on
this train, kinda sucks but there it is.
I am going to get ready for dinner. I might continue this later. So Caio for now!
I want to add, dinner was fabulous! Yummy food and really nice servers!
Bed soon, Winnipeg tomorrow! Yay!
