Sinopse
Características

A lively and insightful exploration travelogue written by a modern "Voyageur," driving right the way across Canada during the summer of 2017, to commemorate the country's 150th Anniversary since the signing of the Confederation Act on July 1st, 1867 and coming together as one Dominion. We share the enjoyment of traveling alongside the author on his extended road trip as he visits a great many of Canada's southerly National and Provincial Parks and Historic Sites, as well as discovering the many notable peoples who helped to found and forge Canada, met with en route touring East to land's end at L'Anse aux Meadows and Cape Spear, Newfoundland, and heading back Westbound again to the author's home in the central Interior of British Columbia, some 40,000km and 5 months later.Touring across the breadth of Canada as she continually serves up a generous helping of natural and historical roadside attractions, topped with tasty little back corners, savory hamlets and scenic wilder lands to seek out and explore lying all along the Canadian highways and byways, we take the passenger seat to experience seeing this great nation with fresh eyes and for the first time, as the author did, and to also learn much more about the many unique places and characters, past & present, that make Canada such a vast and majestic country and one like no other.Told with immediacy and intimacy in a singular, vivid style, his keen-eyed journal makes for a memorable and inspiring journey, as curiously compelling to read as the Open Road was to drive for the author, There and Back Again, at the official 150 Year mark in what we come to realize is a far deeper and more profound natural and social history of this home and native land called Canada. With 686 photos & illustrations, mostly all in colour.
