Canada — In Conclusion

Things cost more in Canada, but we got by.

Canadian money looks funny.

Canada is metric, but it isn't difficult to make do.

Canada has a marvelous system of Visitor Information Centres which we used and really appreciated.

Canada is a bilingual country but everybody understood our English.

The Canadian accent is no barrier to communication.

They still have Mounties but they no longer ride horses.

We enjoyed our trip across Canada. If you enjoyed reading this blog, maybe you, too, will want to visit Canada one day. Happy travels!

Another thing about Canada - most of their parks have composting toilets. What a great idea!

Canadian currency really does look weird, for those of us who are accustomed to green dollars. They print their money in bright colors, each denomination a different color, and use pictures of people we don't recognize. And they don't have a $1 bill! Instead, they have a $1 coin, which they call the "loonie," because it has a loon on it. The $2 coin is called the "twonie." Both are widely used, unlike the $1 coins in the U.S., which never caught on.
