shootingstar, it looks that way. Although I've visited Canada (mostly Ontario, but also Quebec) I haven't spent enough time there to really give any description. My husband could give a description of Spain as he spent Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Spain and really loved the area. He spent some of his free time cycling and although didn't know Spanish very well was accepted by a group of Spaniards who did a lot of cycling and joined them many times for several hours of riding the country side. (I didn't meet him until he was out of the Air Force.)
