Hay, flax, and canola fields dressed the landscape as we drove across southern Ontario. Thunder Bay was our first stop. There we caught up with the bus tour kids and headed west to Winnipeg for a full day program of theatre, kirtan and feasting.
Another 2,000 miles later through the rolling flats of Saskakewan, we arrived in Calgary but not without some serious car troubles. Making the delay well worth it, even while broken down, I was able to collect the most beautiful roadside sunflowers and sage.
The Calgary Ratha Yatra was very simple and sweet. Most enjoyable for me was spending time with the temple president's young daughters at their beautiful home, where we stayed two or three nights. The last night we talked until late in the evening. I was sad to leave my sisters the next morning, but such is the reality of travel, quick hellos and quick goodbyes.
