Girl Meets Canada: The End
Our traveler reaches the end of her amazing, quirky journey across the huge country that is Canada and looks back on what she has and hasn’t learned over the past four months. The truth is, she’s gone from West Coast to East Coast and she’s just plain run out of road. We will miss Sarah’s posts from towns we never knew the names of before, but hopefully she’ll be back with many more Sarahisms. Here’s her last post from the road.

Girl Meets Canada: Gros Morne National Park

Girl Meets Canada: Walking Takes You Paces
Emily got it in her head that circumnavigating Nova Scotia, by foot, was a swell idea. So to all the people that thought I was nuts for driving across Canada alone, I’d like to present Emily as exhibit A in my defence. If she’s not certifiable, how can I be?
