Things I had forgotten about Canada
1. Hickory sticks, chocolate, smarties!
2. French, french everywhere
3. Most Canadians are very patriotic and also very proud of their (European, or other) heritage - I was amazed at how many different flags I saw on people's cars (for the world cup)
4. No Fred Meyer - you have to drive to 4 different stores to get your shopping done. (no beer or wine in grocery stores - grrrr)
5. The heat! It felt tropical.
6. The town where I grew up is really beautiful. I was a very lucky kid.
7. The selection of cookies in the grocery store is incredible.
8. My mom has a TON of friends! (that makes me happy)
9. The traffic
10. It still feeels like home.

Karen, I've been to Canada only once. My husband was there for two weeks taking a class and I went with him on vacation. We were there in January 2003 ... it was soooooo cold! It's actually the first time I've ever really seen snow. What I really remember about visiting is all the Tom Horton's. My gosh ... there was practically one on every single corner. I was astounded!
