We started from Vancouver,where we picked up① 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 direction②.We got lost③ a few times even with the help of GPS,but eventually we managed to cross④ 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 of⑤ ice.❶It'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 asleep⑥,when I heard Dad's phone ringing.He was driving,so I answered it.Guess who it was?Mum!❷It 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 photos⑦,and you can guess the rest ...She was so mad!To cheer her up⑧,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!
