Task 3
P58 3
Hi Amy,
We made it! My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can't wait to share the stories with you.
We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip – a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though. There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It's like another world.
We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they speak Quebecois, which is a type of Canadian French. The funniest thing happened on that day. I'd fallen asleep, when I heard Dad's phone ringing. He was driving, so I answered it. Guess who it was Mum! It was then that I realised her seat was empty! How did that happen Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest… She was so mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous “poutine”, which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It's usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup – delicious!
