Day 4 - 181 -- Travel, Food & Friends

Today I was reminded of the many trips I've taken to travel this country. A colleague and graduate of our program launched a cross-Canada tour to discuss food systems, food security, sustainability, and our relationship with food. She's named the endeavor Let's Taste Canada!  I envy her the drive and discovery. I've been from Mile zero in Victoria BC to Mile 1 in St. John's, Newfoundland -- the anchor points of the trans-Canada Highway system. About 8000 km in length, I've traveled most of it, with the exception of the 9 hour trip across the island of Newfoundland. That one is still in the works. Of course, there were many trips that occurred off this major highway system in all ten provinces. This system goes from Atlantic to Pacific coasts, but does not reach the Arctic coastal areas. Other highways do that and they, too, are on my travel 'to do' list.

One song seemed to suit the events of today. A Canadian singer-songwriter with an anthem fit for a trip such as this one. Enjoy!
