Chapter 78: Veni, Vidi, Vici

"Veni, Vidi, Vici."
-Julius Caesar

Translated, the above means "I came, I saw, I conquered." At the end of my Canadian epic, that's kind of how I feel. I've traveled more than half the circumference of the globe. That's how vast this country is. So...how to sum it up? Superlatives won't do, so here are some highlights.

-days: 50
-kilometres: 20,628
-provinces: 10
-territories: 1
-national parks: 6
-UNESCO world heritage sites: 5
-best places to wonder at the beauty of it all: Tofino and Cape Breton Island
-best place to kill your liver: Halifax
-most likely to make you feel like a rock star: Montreal
-best surprises: Alberta badlands, and Saskatchewan's Great Sand Hills
-best place to get lost and never found: the Dempster Highway, Yukon
-best views from a car: Icefields Parkway, Alberta
-quirkiest place: Newfoundland
-best place to feel like a foreigner and love it: Quebec City

And the best part is, there's still so much more to explore. Here's to next time...who wants to come with?

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you've done a
superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely
quick for me on Firefox. Superb Blog!
