Canada Part Two

When I drove across the boarder back to the us the Guard asked me why I went to Canada and the only response I could think of was why not! I am glad that I went to Canada, but it was a bit odd, a strange mix of midwestern culture with California prices (I had to include the gas fill from Costco in my pictures because it so amazed me) and ok food.  Of course the best thing in Canada was the bacon, OMG the flavor had a richness that I just don't find in the bacon I usually get. oh and the bacon in Canada is not a round processed ham :-).

As I alluded to in my previous post I stayed at a campground in Canada. this was a truly LGBTQ campground and really was interesting. Though most of the time there was a bust because of the weather. they still worked to make lemons out of lemonade and through a big bonfire to close out the weekend. it was glorious and a lot of fund. This was an interesting camp because it really embraced the whole of the LGBT2Spirit community. It was interesting learning why and where folks came from and what the camp represented to them. 

On Sunday we took off for another brewery Harvest Host site.  This was a really interesting site where the topic of conversation was the political divide in Canada. it was fascinating to be a fly on the wall listening to the back and forth realizing that with a few name changes the conversation could have been in the States.  Having not been in any other foreign countries lately, I don't think it would be wrong to speculate from the things I have seen in the news that similarities could be found there too. Of course the hypothesis that I have for all that is going on in the world right now is that people are enamored by the loudest voices and not listening to their neighbors, with quick judgements and fighting for the causes over justice.  But I digress. . .

On Monday, I made my way back to the US and headed to Flint, Michigan.  More on that later . . .
