About the book
This is the story of an adventure
experienced by Mike and his disabled wife
Sylvia. Sylvia, who has Parkinson's disease,
made the journey with the aid of a
wheelchair across North America for four
weeks in September and October 2016. They
reacquainted themselves with old friends and
made new ones. They experienced a succession
of interesting and, in some cases, amusing
encounters, along with one instance that
verged on the miraculous.
Mike and Sylvia
encountered an interesting array of facts,
figures, and opinions from a wide stratum of
North American society, and Mike comments on
a few of his own personal reflections on the
people and places he came across. They
explored major cities and rural communities,
including an Amish community in Indiana, and
areas of pristine wilderness. They also took
a cruise to Alaska, travelled on the Rocky
Mountaineer Express Train, and visited the
Niagara Falls and the Quebec World Heritage
Site.
