In back: Craig and Marcia. In front: me, Beatrice, Susan and Alan (Carrie is taking the photo.) We loaded up into the big, bulky van and we were on our way. And WHAT a trip it was! We were all in high spirits with Beatrice, talking and laughing and waving her hands around, and providing us with several breath-takingly close calls on those two-lane roads driving 150 - 160 kilometers (90 - 95 mph) and passing everything in sight. Well, my dears, although I felt a few, sudden moments of panic, there was nothing for it but to put on an air of casual nonchalance and participate in the laughter and conversation. Ha ha ha ha ha!Of course coming home was just as much fun. We passed a sign on the highway that I commented on. Beatrice said "oh that's a sign to tell us how many deaths have occurred on this road. We have passed last year's number already, and it's only October" and then she lurched into the passing lane, passed the pokey, 85 mph vehicle, and managed to veer into the right lane just in time to miss an on-coming car.
