Taking a trip in several different ways


My sister came from Vancouver…yeah!! She took a plane trip…on several planes in fact.

We took several short trips while she was in Ottawa
- to see Abracadabra
- to the Experimental Farm to check out the gardens and the animals
- to a cheese store
- to dinner with some of my former work colleagues

Then we took a driving trip over in the Toronto direction to see a mutual friend and her husband. This was a very pretty drive. We stopped at Port Perry for lunch and then we arrived.

These friends have a lovely old house which they have been fixing up for the past 10 years. We met all the resident animals
- one horse
- one horse on trial
- one donkey
- one dog
- one cat

We also took a trip back in time as we met up with long time riding friends from Lachute. Do you remember this horse or this person? My sister always seems to be better at this than I am.

We shared some nice meals together.
There was much talk about parents - still alive or not - and horse companions.

Then I took a trip home driving through the countryside until I got the 401 Highway, There were lots of country driving before seeing more signs of civilization.

I quite easily got onto the highway and was on my way home to Ottawa.

My sister’s trip ended by going into Toronto and the airport and flying home.
