Chiara and I are back from our Canada-USA trip, and to say that we had a great time would probably be a bit of an understatement. Thanks to everyone who hosted us, and to those we met along the way, you’ve all made our trip truly memorable!

Chiara and I arrived in Chicago where we stayed for a couple of days with my Mom and Grandmother, then we went up to London (via Detroit) to visit Dave and Sona. From there it was off to North Bay to spend a few art-filled days and nights with Deanna and Brent, then to Dad’s before leaving for Coniston/Onaping, where we stayed for two nights with Uncle Victor and Aunt Pauline at their house on Windy Lake. During our stay at Windy Lake we visited Grandma, Uncle Terry, and much of the family in Coniston, and also had dinner with Auntie Mary and David in Sudbury.

Then it was back to North Bay for a few days during which we spent most afternoons swimming in Lake Nipissing, before going to London to spend two nights visiting my thesis supervisor John Bell. Finally, we were back in Chicago for the last three days of our trip.

I took lots of photographs throughout the trip, and you’ve got two options to view them. There’s a gallery of photos from our trip. I’ve also got a separate gallery of photographs of Brent’s artwork.
