Cheerio, Ruth!
Published by Gail June 28th, 2008 in House of Fielding, Travel, cameraphone
It’s probably a good day to leave Toronto — all this humidity turned into summer downpour!
I saw Ruth, from Ireland, off at the train station this morning. I hosted Ruth for two days, and she’s making her way west to Vancouver and all around the U.S. by rail. She’s a lovely girl, I hope to see her in Ireland sometime! She’s also a fan of rail travel, and has inspired me to dig through my archives of Cuba and resurrect the videoclips of my journey on the Hershey Train from Matanzas to Havana — which I have never posted. If you’re a rail traveller, too, watch this space.

I’ll be watching. Rail is my favourite mode of travel right after air. Love the motion, sounds, backwoods views.
