ROAD TRIP

So, I just got back from my 6 day road trip to Quebec/Ottawa, any my car actually made it the whole way there and back! I spent two days white water kayaking the ottawa river with the world renound rafting company "Esprit". I had a wicked instructor, and met some pretty cool people. Who knows, maybe i'll become a competative paddeler! haha. Small steps first though, still have to perfect the roll in moving water. During my time in Quebec , i met some pretty wicked people staying at the hostel. Cheers Carley and Simon, hope to see you guys in the UK someday, or on our way to Mexico next year right Car?!!!?!!! In Ottawa, ihad a wicked time visiting my best girls Beth and Erica. I toured the city, parliment, civilization museum, partied, karaoke and shpped. It was a busy few days, oh and of course, the purpose of that trip was for beth's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH! HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD TIME! We ate out alot and went to this cafe called "Oh so Good" and shared some cheese cake for Beth's birthday, and man was it "oh so good" haha! We also hooked up with my Girl from Fairmont, (yo Erica! KOLOPSY) and an old old friend Meghan Snider from my home town. What a time! "I saw the sign" right Meg! GO LEAFS GO! We also watched the hockey games. The Leafs getting their asses kicked, but came right back the next night with a shut out game.. man are they ever gonna be consistant? On the way home, I took Beth to her cottage in huntsville and i continued on home, but stopped at the wonderful Blue Mountain, and baught a snowboard... opps, i gotta stop spending money. Oh well, i'm set for this season now! Anwyays, that's my 6 day road trip in a zip! Talk to you all soon and Happy Thanksgiving! PEACE!

I am bad at emailing so keep on it! Cheers!

Island Adventure - Depart

The very sad moments that it was, here's the flight home.

Island Adventures - Day 7

Whale Watching Well, this was a crazy day. So i drove up to Campbell river again and walked onto the ferri, where at the other end, the company i went with picked me up. So we went to Herriot Bay Inn and got all checked in for Orca Whale watching. Two boats went out and i unfortunitly got stuck on the second boat. We saw lots of seals, porposed, sea lions, but unfortunitly not much luck with the whales. We couldn't get close to them as they were in the whale reserve wehre boats can't go. Our boat trip was around 8 hours, it was nuts. We hit some rough waters inthe Geogia Straights and had a broken wind shield wipers. But oh well, it was still a good day.

Island Adventures Day 6

So, Day six, Brian and I went on the ferri to Hornby Island, where here, we hiked the bluffs, saw star fish, ate lunch, and sat on the beach and suntanned, and looked for sand dollars. We had a great day. I can't believe i sat on the beach at the end of september and it was warm IN CANADA!!! haha, it's been a blast!
