After one last night on board the SS France, a night without rocking or engine humming, Fritz and family stepped off the boat and literally, became landed immigrants. October 9th, 43 years ago - a sunny day to remember! The same taxi ride to transport us from harbour to train station only required one car this time - due to the immense difference in vehicle sizes between North America and Europe. The cab driver assured us, all would fit in, luggage included, but in the end, did have trouble closing the trunk. When a police officer stopped the taxi, instead of issuing a ticket or suggesting 2 vehicles, he instead assisted the driver in getting the trunk closed better. A very unexpected traffic situation for Europeans?
One way tickets for the train ride from Montreal to Saskatoon were purchased next, and it wasn't long before Fritz reached for his sketchbook and any pen he could find. He couldn't resist the fall beauty about to whoosh past the window for 3 days and 2 nights.
