can have a strange view.

This lovely little book has dressed itself in nakedness and a few well placed balloons! ;)

Released 5 yrs ago (5/22/2018 UTC) at Thegoaliegirl's Travel Narrative bookbox, A Bookbox -- Controlled Releases
CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Sent out in the 2018 thegoaliegirl's travel narrative bookbox to start the box off!
I'm claiming this from the Travel Narrative bookbox. Just in time for Canada Day!
Later: I enjoyed this look across Canada, though I found myself more drawn to the sections on Quebec and Ontario, as I've actually been there and have at least some basis for comparison {wry grin}. Though now I want to visit more of the territories - Newfoundland and the Maritimes are potentially reachable via (long) road-or-ferry trip...
Anyway, I found a nice mix of historical information and local oddities, with the author's personal touches. I did wonder how much things have changed since the book came out in the late '80s, but I found plenty of familiar notes, not least the author's praise of Aux Vieux Canadiens, the vintage-1677 house in old Quebec City - I'd had a marvelous meal there last year when visiting the city with a friend.
While the writing wasn't always as scintillating as I'd have liked, I did appreciate this opportunity to visit so much of Canada vicariously!
