5 days of camping.
Luckily I’m so damn tired after the first part of the trip that I think I could sleep anywhere right now.
We rekaggered our trip a bit and after today we’re heading home-ish (via 5 days of camping). Not to worry, we’ve taken TONS of pictures which I will happily share once I get home to my own internet connection.
Today we’re off to see Anne of Green Gables’s house!! (Yes, I’m a dork, which the hubby keeps reminding me). Prince Edward Island even has a lisence plate with Anne on it! They really know how to milk what makes them famous.
Tomorrow we’ll head off to the Bay of Fundy (off of New Brunswick instead of Nova Scotia which we had originally planned) to see the worlds biggest tides.
Some campsites claim to have wireless internet access but I don’t know, even for me, who has never camped before, I’m not sure if that sits well. Doesn’t it take some of the wilderness out of camping. Anyway I may or may not check in again before I’m back in the states.
I can’t wait to get home and catch up on, well, everything!!

Greetings from Montreal.
This actually might be the last time I’ll have internet access in more than a week!! I don’t know how I’ll handle it.
We spent today in Montreal. It was quite nice but it’s also kind of hard. I know about twenty words of French and none of them are helpful for actually getting around or anything. Though it’s fun to watch French Canadian TV.
Tomorrow we’ll be driving off to Quebec City.
Then a rough day of driving all the way through New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island. From there it’s smallish hotels and camping until I get home, hence the no internet access (although one campground does claim to have wireless. I guess we’ll see).
I’ll post again when I get a chance but for now I’ve got an apple turnover with my name on it.

So, this is day…5 of my vacation.
Only 5?
I unfortunatly forgot to pack my pedometer but I’m pretty sure I could have walked the whole way to Canada by now. I’m typing from Toronto, well, suburban Toronto anyway, we kind of decided we were to tired to explore too much of the city today.
Niagra falls was fun. Wet.
I decided that the only souvenier I wanted from there was the cheepest, tackiest little plastic snowglobe that I could find. I got one for $2.00.
We went to an African Lion Safari thing (yes, in Canada, not Africa or anything) and it was super cool. A baboon sat on the hood of my car. Honestly though, they seemed to prefer mini-vans and SUV’s and those had 5-6 baboons on them.
I also have zebra snot and ostrich slobber on my car.
Canada’s a great time, lol!
Today we went to the Ontario Science Center and tomorrow we’re heading off to the Toronto Zoo before heading off to Montreal.
It also means I have internet access for at least two more days, lol.
Oh, I haven’t tried Tim Horton’s yet, but they really are on every corner and I WILL try some Timbits before I leave here (or as I called them when I couldn’t remember their name, Horton Holes, which actually sounds better, I think).
