Yoga Teacher ~ Blogger of Random Things
As you may have noticed, I’ve ben avoiding writing a post for almost two weeks. This is for a reason. Not a great reason, mind you. But a reason none the less. My reason is as follows: it will be my last post of my Girl Meets Canada series. Because my road trip is over. It’s [...]
Day 114 (Tuesday August 31st) Since I left Halifax 23 days ago, I haven’t spent much time with other people. It’s mostly been short exchanges at grocery stores and gas stations, and most topics of conversation have revolved around requests for me to sign little pieces of paper, and me complying. Let’s backtrack even further. [...]
Day 111 (Saturday, Aug 28th) I put way too much faith in maps. Not so much in their ability to tell me where things are in relation to other things (I have faith in their ability to do that for sure, but I wouldn’t call it “too much” faith. I think it’s the right amount [...]
Allow me to open with two stories that I believe are relevant to what happened last Friday. Story #1 My dad bought a house on one of the gulf islands a few years ago. The island is lovely and his property is a darn fine piece of land. But the house, well, let’s just say [...]
Day 107 — 111 (Tues August 24 — Sat August 28) I spent four nights camping in and around Gros Morne National Park. It is hands down the beautiful and interesting national park I’ve ever been to in Canada (Arches Park in Utah might compete on an international level mostly because it’s so unique, and [...]
Day 104 (Sat, August 21) 1:30 AM Why, dear god, WHY did I think that booking myself on to the 5:45am ferry from North Sydney to Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland was a good idea? At the time my thoughts were on the arriving bit — getting in at noon seemed smart as I’d have all [...]
Day 97 (Sat, August 14th) I drove North from Charlottetown to Cavendish, an absolutely horrid part of PEI that is just swarming with Anne of Green Gables attractions and Anne-crazy tourists. I kept driving. Fortunately the west and east bits of PEI aren’t nearly as popular. I spent four days driving slowly along the charming [...]
Day 92 (Mon, August 9th) After a few weeks of lollygagging around Halifax, I decided I needed to leave immediately or stay forever. Since nothing was leaking out of the bottom of my van, I opted for the former, and hit the road, heading north. Check this out and tell me how lucky I am. [...]
It has been brought to my attention via my faithful readers (ie, Frank) that I haven’t provided a drink recipe for a few provinces. Oops! Bad blogger! Bad, bad blogger! In my defence, I breezed through New Brunswick in just over a day and didn’t really do anything there, so I didn’t feel like a [...]
I would like to introduce you to an old friend of mine. Internet, meet Emily. Emily, meet the Internet. I’ve been told that when introducing people, you should always share an interesting fact about each party. That way they can continue on a conversation — if they wish to — while you slip off to [...]
