Travel around the world? I don’t think so.

My sister posted on Facebook today that she joined or plans to follow some group that wants to check off 100 things on a list and travel around the world.

Then she asked, “What would you like to do?”

Well, I figure if everybody plans to go around the world then I’ll do something different, so I said I’d like to see more of Ontario by bicycle, motorcycle or on foot. Less gas needed.

I’d travel the north shore of lake Superior again at the drop of a hat, get my hair cut in Thessalon (if the guy is open), then scoot across the street and have butternut squash soup again with the 70 - 80 year old Slovakian woman who runs the cafe.


(It was delicious. “Would you like some more,” she asked. “Yes, please,” I said. Gosh, she was a nice lady. She told me she made the lace curtains on the windows of her cafe).

If I was 70 - 80 years old I’d see if I could buy the barber shop, sell birdhouses and break for lunch same time everyday.

And let the world come to me.

We can’t all go around the world.

Let’s go to places closer to home and see what’s there, with our eyes wide open.
