Another early start to head into Salem. Luckily there was a public parking garage across from the visitor centre. Watched a great documentary about the 1692 Salem witch trials then walked around the few blocks of town full of psychics, Halloween activities and shops about witchcraft. Try this game about Salem put out by National [...]
We left Di and Charles after a magnificent visit in their company and headed east and north around Lake Erie. We stayed on the interstate until nearing the town of Erie in Pennsylvania. On the map was a nature area called Presque Isle State Park. Lots of lovely fall foliage and views across the bay [...]
Miss W, Davo and Diane were photographed for the front cover of the famous Rock n Roll magazine called ‘Rolling Stone’. Maybe they are thinking of inducting Davo into the Hall of Fame. What do you think would be an appropriate song for him to sing? Consider: All the travelling he has done over the [...]
No, we weren’t staying with royalty but we certainly got treated well while in Ohio. Diane is a chat room friend of Miss W’s and she met her last time she came to America as well. This time we stayed at Diane’s house for three nights and went touring during the day. There were two [...]
It has taken me a week to convince Miss W that I can write about what happened. We left Mrs Allen’s house at about 7.30am. Maybe we should have left 10 minutes earlier or later but ……. We were about 2 miles from the Indiana border when blue lights started flashing behind us. Miss W [...]
Over the last few days, we have been in Iowa and Illinois where we visited two classes – Mrs Krebs in Granville, Iowa and Mrs Allen in Joliet, Illinois. In Iowa, Miss W gave a talk to classes, the students asked lots of questions but as yet don’t have their own blogs. While we were [...]
No, Dakota in Miss W’s class, this is not about you. Instead we have been travelling through North and South Dakota in the USA. After leaving Just M and Jim in Manitoba, we headed into USA via Windy Gates Port of Entry. The car was searched again but as it was so windy, the customs [...]
SnowyBob, Miss W’s dad, left a comment asking to see a photo of Miss W and myself on the 49th parallel. Where’s that you ask? It is the border between USA and Canada. Well here we are in the International Peace Garden. What do you think I am saying to Miss W? I am in [...]
Well, what a fantastic three relaxing days we have just spent with Miss W’s genealogy friend, Just M and her husband Jim. Last time Miss W visited Just M, she lived in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan but now she has moved to a small town that is SOOOO quiet at night. It is about 30 miles [...]
Been a few days now since I wrote my last post. We have been driving long distances so I have been sleeping quite often. Miss W has the radio going to keep her awake and I just get out of the car when we have a tourist stop. OOPS! Forgot to tell you that at [...]
