I am not Lost

Not all those who wander are lost. ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

Today was a traveling day. I drove through prairies that resembled ponds….or maybe more accurately land that looked like lakes. I should have take a photo but the highway was busy. Instead, I send a snapshot of a little creek near a Hutterite colony I was at later in the day. Look like a creek to you? Manitoba is under a flood threat and some places are worse than others.

After work I had my final Tai Chi class (we finished the short form at last; now I just need to practice) and then went on to Net for God in the Chemin Neuf community which showed a film on a seminary in Burundi where the people stood by each other during the genocide rather than turn in their friends with a different ethnicity. The film was powerful and brought back lots of memories of being in Burundi and at another seminary.

As I drove from one place to another, I wondered about my wanderings. I have been a lot of places. To keep my mind active as I drove 350 km I tried to think of places I had been to following the alphabet. Let’s see if I can cover all 26 letters—and I won’t always pick the obvious ones. See if you know where they all are!

A for Arviat
B for Bujumbura
C for Cincinati
D for Duluth
E for Edmonton
F for Frankfurt
G for Guatemala City
H for Holguin
I for Iowa City
J for Juarez
K for Kigali
L for Los Angeles
M for Montreal
N for Nairobi
O for Ottawa
P for Paris
Q for Quebec City
R for Rankin Inlet
S for St. Boniface
T for Tofino
U for Uvira
V for Vancouver
W for Willow Bunch
X for X-ray Dept (Maybe after I travel in Asia I can get this one)
Y for Yorkton
Z for Zurich

Can you do this with places you have been to? What you have better things to do with your time? Ah, but the challenge is interesting!

Peace,

Suzanne
