We also learned he had 16 guns at home and we had a most interesting conversation with him about possessing a weapon in the states!) Did you know they have a Tim Hortons here ! It was kind of comforting but as Coralyn pointed out "how dare they take away a Canadian symbol !".

... for country roads! The cloudy day grew warmer (back to T-shirts) and more humid, and we came through a couple of hard rain showers. Crossed the Ohio River into Ohio at Marietta (in one of those rains) and poked around the town some, where many streets are paved in bricks - beautiful big old homes on tree lined streets, Marietta College, and lots of Methodist and Lutheran churches.

Well I am about ready to deoart on this great adventure. Mom and Dad are taking me to the airport. I can't wait to get away from that Burger King guy. He freaks me out. Who Dey!

Holy prarie house! Frank Lloyd Wright lives!! This home was designed by Taliesen Architects - the foundation set up to carry on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, phase1 complete 1988, phase 2 1998 And it looks like a later era of Frank Lloyd Wright, a fantastic building, built into a hillside, and a place for demented architects but not at all like a typical domestic house. Phase 1 was ...
