THE ROADS WE TAKE

To get us to places can be varied or the same route day after day. As creatures of habit, there is comfort knowing the way, how long it will be and the safety in finding us back at the beginning. Some people are highway drivers, others like the back routes but all arrive at their wanted destinations. There are some country roads that offer interesting scenery as the seasons change. City streets with flags at Canada Day and Christmas lights during the festive season, make the same way engrossing. Of course, some roads may be boring if only concrete walls surround them. There is one stretch to Niagara Falls that is difficult to drive as there is nothing to see. Roads can also have symbolic significance to us. Some roads are very long- like Yonge Street- one of the longest in the world. It changes depending if you are in Toronto, here in Richmond Hill or further north where it goes into the country. Our highways like the Trans Canada Highway would tell a million stories if they could talk. Of course roads don't talk!
