Chapter 2 - Across Canada - busted

Well that’s it. We had lunch at a roadside place that made a sort of Acadian pie that was mostly potato and not that great but interesting if you know what I mean. The car stopped dead right in the middle of the highway and it just wouldn’t go no matter what Dad did. We had to get it towed to a garage where the mechanic said he was surprised it had come this far. So that’s the end. Dad is mad that now he has to buy a new car as well as pay for plane tickets to get us home. I’m disappointed because I never got to see the rest of Nova Scotia or the Bluenose boat that’s on the dime.
Oh well, Mom is happy.
