Travel update II

I was going to upload some pictures so everyone in the whole wide Interworld could see what a great time I'm having in the sunshine.

But, you know, I'd rather just go to the beach.

That and my memory card won't fit into the reader on my Grandparent's computer.

Pictures to come when if I return.

Adventures in adventuring

Since we last spoke I've:
  • been to Time Square
  • taken in the tree at Rockefeller Square
  • seen a GIANT RAT on the New York subway
  • lost three pounds
  • gained five pounds
  • taken up skipping rope three times a week
  • taken the longest, most convoluted bus route from Buffalo to Toronto
  • gotten to know every side street from Fort Eerie to Mississagua very intimately (see bullet above)
  • survived being mercilessly attacked by Toronto hail
  • sustained minor injuries after my front stoop and much of the GTA was transformed into a skating rink
  • had all my assests important parts frozen
  • given in to wanton consumerism
To come:
  • sunshine
  • warm weather
  • beaches
  • family time
  • tropical fruit
  • home cooking
  • gloating
  • boating
  • bloating

HOORAH A DRAWRING

Travel Update

So, I decided to forego the trip to Europe, and instead just do Toronto, the States, and the Caribbean for my month off. So far, it has been great.

I am currently just outside of Baltimore. And it's sunny with a high of 75. Brilliant. I defintely did not pack adequately for this weather, but I'm not complaining. My goal for this month off was to find relaxation, visit family, and get as far away from Vancouver rain as possible.

I thought the trip to the West Indies was going to seal the whole trip off with a sun-kissed goodbye. But it looks like I didn't have to wait that long.

Plus, I walked about 2 sunshiney miles today with my cousins, and lost two pounds.

So, I am safe, and sound, and sunny. More to come when I have steady internet access.
