Times-Advocate, 1980-06-18, Page 6the campgrounds except the
washrooms were usually
I recall taking a nap on the
back seat of the car
somewhere in B.C. A sudden
stop rolled me onto the floor,
and a fit of giggles made
getting back on the seat
almost impossible. My
companions were little or no
help,
During our western jaunt,
we took many tours of
famous cities in a variety of
vehicles. The streets of
Saskatoon are flat, but
viewing them from a lawn
chair in the back of a van,
they are certainly not
boring.
We took one trip up a
mountainside in Alberta in a
gondola, but another was
cancelled due to an electrical
storm. Fortunately we were
still at the bottom.
My cousin gave us a motor
tour up and down moun-
tainous streets in Van-
couver, Her philosophy was;
when you've seen one stop
sign, you've seen them all.
In Jasper, we took a
snowmobile ride on the ice
fields clad in light sweaters
and sandals, Our driver
happened to mention half-
way out this was his first
trip. I knew he was kidding;
at least, I thought he was
kidding. But the lady next to
me thought he was dead
;serious; she didn't enjoy the
ride much.
In Vancouver, an evening
was spent drinking tea and
listening to three
Newfoundland mates
reminiscing. I don't
remember much that was
said but I remember
laughing til I cried. No, we
weren't drinking anything
but tea.
Next summer two friends
and I motored to Ottawa.
One of the best things about
the trip was a fishburger -
my first taste of one.
We toured the parliament
buildings, but several sec-
tions were closed because of
renovation. On a bus tour, we
saw all the highlights of the
city. I think that was the
year we visited the mint as
well. The Prime Minister
didn't invite us for lunch or
dinner, but we understood he
was busy.
Two years ago I returned
west with a new travelling
companion. We learned the
art of compromise. She was
an early bird accustomed to
rising no later than six. I, was
a sleepyhead accustomed to
dragging myself out of bed
no earlier than eight,
We compromised, She
stayed in bed an hour longer,
and I forced myself out an
hour earlier. We got to the
restaurant at opening time
and hit the road around
eight, She drove; I dozed,
You've heard of people
setting their footprints in
cement for posterity. I
managed to plant my shoe in
a wad of chewing gum on a
steaming hot Victoria
parking lot forever,
After a few vain attempts
to scrape the glue away, I
decided the $5.99 sandals
with the hole in one sole and
wad of gum on the other
weren't worth the bother. I
schucked my way to the
nearest shoe store and
deposited my Ontario shoes
in a garbage can on the way
out.
I've still got lots of weird
memories to share, but I've
run out of space. Funny, that
never happened when a
teacher gave the assignment
'how I spent my summer
vacation!
If I can't think of anything
better to comment on next
week, I'll continue with the
topic of vacations.

pleasures close to home this
year. Since I'm not taking an
extended vacation, I've been
thinking about past summer
trips. Isn't it strange the
memories that stick in one's
mind?
For example, I remember
a camping trip five years
ago, when two companions
and I spent the first night
camped over a ground hog
colony somewhere in the
prairies.
I don't recall much about
