Canada

Normally Canada reminds me of swimming in a lake, fishing, reading in a hammock, making bon fires, sun bathing on the dock, tubing and cliff jumping. But this trip to Canada was a very different experience.

On Thursday morning, my grandma Mira, my friend Naomi and I, departed at 6am from New York and drove for 9 hours.




Thousand Islands Bridge.


Our usual lunch stop, diner/gas station.



One advantage of ice fishing is being able to leave your line down until you are ready to check on it. 





We got across the lake on a trailer pulled by a four wheeler. We even had the luxury of sitting in plastic chairs.









By the time we headed back, the snow created a whiteout and the land was hardly visible. 



On the Road/ Gemona



We headed north toward the mountains for about half an hour until we reached a town called Gemona.


*************



In 1976, Gemona experienced a violent earthquake. The city was torn to pieces. When reconstructing, they numbered the pieces and rebuilt the city like a puzzle.
























Venice, continued.
