Now the people will know we were here.

We have spent the last few days murdering millions of insects with our bumper/windshield through the prairies, then washing our car clean with the rain and snow of the Rocky Mountains.


for years I've driven past cliffs and hills with rock stacks of little towers and inukshuks. I have always wanted to be one of the people who made one of those. Well last week I fulfilled my dream.

Today will be spent in the  Okanagan doing some wine tasting :)

The cats on Parliament Hill

 So I discovered my new favorite thing about Ottawa... In the shadow of parliament there is a colony of cats that has been there for decades. According to weathered sign one man alone takes car of these cats. 

We opted to trade in our mega van for a more stylish/fuel efficient Civic.

 

Chugging along...

Quebec 'n Ontario

After staying in Fredericton for the night we navigated the mega van to a micro brewery in Quebec called Brasserie Breughel. Only makes sense really...

Ferry from Levis to Quebec City

With the help of Carmella(my GPS) we navigated the mega van through the city searching for a road that didn't exist. 3 hours later we found it and stayed in a house basically made of plants and art work.

Some delectable chocolates for breakfast and watching a dude do some glass blowing we headed for Ottawa in time to play some frisbee and eat zucchini on Parliament Hill.

It begins

The most indirect way to Fredericton ever.

 This picture speaks for himself...

Touring the country in a parish 15 person van. 

Driving snacks...

Blue Fruits

It's now been a week since I've escaped the confines of full time employment. It's given me some time to get some things done I've been neglecting for a while. Things like fix the growing hole in the crotch of my pants. Or use my travel hammock.

Nothing like hitching a ride to Sackville in the middle of the night after the bar scene and camp out in the woods. Wake up in the morning and forage for some grub. Plenty of blueberries kick'in around these parts.

Time for a siesta.

The Jimmy Legs

I know that I'm ready to hit the road when I start packing and unpacking my gear. 

This will be a common sight around the apartment until I find a way outta here...

Dam good chicken

Fundy Coast, No Biggie

Sometimes I forget you can just drive for a couple hours and get to a totally different and wonderful place.

I have always known that the Bay of Fundy had the biggest tides, but to actually go and see it is way more interesting and beautiful then you would think.

Hopewell Rocks

Apparently when the tide goes out you have to prop your boat up with sticks as to not have it fall over.

There is just something so beautiful about when the land meets the water.
