I can see Canada from here.



After the famous statement of “I can see Russia from my house”, it has become one of Carole’s and my favorite descriptions.  By the way we have seen her house and you can’t even see Anchorage from her house.  Of course according to a couple of friends if you can look at her why would you want to look for Russia?  May be I need to get back to my original chain of thought.   Last night we were headed to get something to eat and there was a strange building off to our right at an intersection.  After a couple of more looks it was the US Customs entry point so we really could see Canada from here. 

One of our favorite pizza places is a Carpenetti’s in Moody.  The pizza place we ate at last night was just like it.  Papa was out taking to people while the rest of the family was back working.  He was visiting with the police chief when we arrived and we all became BFF’s immediately.  I will have to admit that none of us understood what the other person was saying, between their New York accents and our Southern accents.  It was a fun place and the pizza was very good. 

Our accommodations last night were a the Thomas Mott Inn, a B&B on the Lake Champlain.  We were the only people at the place.  It is a lovely place overlooking the lake; the couple running it are very nice.  If you are ever far enough north to see Canada, this is the place to stay.
