What am I Doing Here?

Train Trip

My favorite vacation was when I was a very young girl. It was a trip to Canada and Alaska that started with a train ride. We included my aunt and brother who lived with my aunt. And we enjoyed the scenery that consisted of mountains with snow on the top and cities that had tall buildings. We had fold down beds and rooms that were smaller than the one in my home.
But at the end of the trip to Canada, mother spotted a red spot on my leg that became bigger and looked inflamed. I had to lay on a seat or bed with a hot compress until it was gone. This was my first experience with a boil.
We saw many interesting things in Canada. What I liked was the totem poles. The figures looked real. The paint on the totem poles were vivid.
Next I liked the people who were nice to the family. They showed us some places to visit and take pictures.
My father was a medical officer in Alaska during World War II. He looked like he felt at home. He also wanted to take us on a cruise in an area but unfortunately one sank and that ended our tour via cruise boats.
The trip home was uneventful. It seemed faster than the trip to Canada and Alaska. I still enjoyed the train ride. And when we got home, my mother informed the family that she was going to have a baby. I asked her if she got it in a souvenir shop and she laughed and said, "No." My father replied, "We will talk about babies later."
