There is no such place as French Canada. Canada has two official languages, one of which is French. The country was founded by two distinct cultures - the English from Britain and the French from France, and rather than follow the lead of our neighbours to the south, Canada is not a melting pot - but rather a patchwork of cultures that were not forced to assimilate to conform. That tradition started with the English and French going back to the 1760's, when the English defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham but did not (as was expected at the time) eliminate everything French and force their culture, language, religion and system of government on the defeated French in Canada. This allows for a great variety of cultures and heritages, but - though unique - they are all CANADIAN.

I've loved trains ever since I was a kid, but kept it secret because I was a girl! So I played with dolls instead. (We're talking 1950s here.) But when I grew up, I announced my "secret love" -- especially for steam locomotives. For years and years, I've wanted to ride the trans-Canada railroad. These are beautiful, evocative photos, and I'm glad the two of you had such a wonderful trip!
