Canada, eh?

I'm finally getting around to writing this blog...but last weekend I went to CANADA. Nova Scotia to be exact!
I have some friends that I worked w/ in Maine last summer that live up there and I randomly agreed to the adventure. It was not too thought out though...my only regret is not realizing how far away it is. I had to drive, take a ferry than drive some more. I guess the change up made me not add it all together...I left last Thursday at 4am and didn't arrive till 8:30pm and then on Sunday I left at 10:30am and got back to Hartford around 3am. But, eh it was an adventure!

One of the first things I did was try something Canadian...poutine, which was very tasty!


Then I was shown some of the sites...


My favorite part of the weekend was being out at the bar on Friday night w/ two of my friends from camp last summer and then just randomly banging into two other Canadians i worked with in Maine!


The highlight of Saturday night had nothing to do w/ Canada in particular...but there was a passed out Canadian that provided much entertainment...everywhere you looked there he was...


So by the end of the trip I had met many friendly Canadians, ate ketchup chips, all dressed chips, a donair and poutine and feel in love w/ their Canadian accents all over again! A very successful adventure...but I probably won't embark on a 15 hour trip by myself for awhile!

I LOVE CANADA!!!!

2) I have only been to Vancouver, but I would like to visit more Canadian places. Looks like you had fun. Wonder how that dude felt in the morning.

3) Canadians have accents to you? Wow, Canadians and Americans sound pretty much the same to me.

4) Nice blog! Canada seems to look like America. I thought they lived in straw huts and igloos.

5) I am kinda curious about the passed out dude - in the first picture - his pants are dry but in the last picture his knees are wet - eh?

7) Good catch justmeg...though I'm not sure I want to know why they're wet!

I love the picture of the light house - so beautiful.

9) I hope the poutine tasted better than it looks in the picture. It must be Canada's version of a horseshoe.
Did anyone bother to check a pulse on passed out dude?
