I’m now starting out on a 12 day road trip in the north west USA, with a short venture into Canada. I want to add Canada to the list of countries in which my Volvo has been driven. So far it’s been driven in: Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Norway & the USA.

This journey should include a variety of interesting places ranging from the Pacific ocean to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. On Tuesday, for example, I drove form the flat farm land of the California Central valley, east over the forested mountains & ended in the deserts of Nevada. Near the end of this drive, I will see the Pacific Ocean along the Washington/Oregon coast.
