September. Vacation.

 The first working week after the vacation has passed.

The nights have become cooler, we got warm blankets, sometimes we wear sweatshirts in the morning, but we don't close the windows. Autumn - time of the year when I like cooking soups, baking bread and cookies and frying draniki.

So, vacation…

We went to Canada, buried Dan's mom's ashes in her parents' grave.

We drove for 7 hours with two stops and a plant. We were going to plant it there in the cemetery, but it turned out that it was impossible. The plant was brought back safely, it will bloom soon. This is not unusual for a potted chrysanthemum. It is unusual that the rhododendron bloomed in our yard in October instead of May.

Canada (Quebec province) surprised with its flat terrain after the mountainous and wooded state of Vermont, through which we drove. The nature of Vermont strongly resembles the Altai Mountains. But as soon as we crossed the border the landscape changed: the flatland, cornfields, cows and the smell of manure. By the way, the quality of roads has changed too, not dramatically, but noticeably. And to be completely honest, the worst road is Hawthorne Street, near our house in New Bedford.

In Canada, speed is measured in km/h, street names in French, horizontal traffic lights. It's good that Google maps and cell phones worked fine, and we returned to the United States without any problems.

A few photos…not many unfortunately.

St. Albans

Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves

In general, we spent three days on the highway.

Canada, the city of Ange Gardien (Guardian Angel - Montréal, Québec), Vermont (St. Albans), New Hampshire (Claremont). We returned home on Tuesday, and the same day brought Crackle from the shelter.

During the trip, I missed home and homework.

It's great to go on vacation and then come back!
