FROM SEA TO SEA


Still a novice with a digital camera, I found some of my first photos taken in Canada a year or two ago. I love mail, so even though Canadian stamps cost a fortune AND you need to pay tax on each stamp (!), I still write and mail letters when I can. Here is a picture of the Canadian motto as found on the door handle at the Canada Post Office in Riverport, Nova Scotia. A mari usque ad mare, from sea all the way to sea, a motto useful for reminding students of the ablative i-stem 3rd declension noun, mare, maris n. sea. Here is a little background on the motto.
