HEY!!

we arrived home from p.e.i. today. i had a really nice time on the island, it's extremely beautiful and picturesque. i have loads of photos that i'll be uploading later.

this trip (that trip? is it past-tense already) was one of many firsts. my first time...
• in new brunswick, p.e.i, maine, new hampshire, vermont
• on a long road-trip
• swimming in salt-water
• at a flea markert
• at horse-races
• gambling (2 dollars :p )
• at a lighthouse
• eating lobster, oysters, and mussels
• biking 10 kms
• i saw wind-turbines in real-life
• i ate cows ice cream
• playing rummy

this trip has perked my interest to travel more within canada. i was wrong in assuming most of canada is like ontario, when in fact ON is probably the least exciting of them all (as an ontarian). this is a frickin beautiful country, it's kind of dumb that i'm only cluing into this now. i guess that's sort of typical.

i bought quite a number of things at the charlottetown flea market, and this afternoon after having a long nap i re-arranged my living room. partly to integrate my new items but mostly because i have never been satisfied with the layout of my living room. but now i LOVE it. it's so homey and cozy and i just want to be in it all the time. it will be a decent balcony replacement over the winter.

it's nice that i have two days off before returning to work. i'm just going to hang-out in isolating for the next few days. have some peace and quiet before getting back into the rat-race. i've spent the day in silence. the only music i've listened to is the sound of the crickets outside.
