... machine. It had cell phones, GPS, iPods, you name it. We&#8217;re uploading a photo here. We got a kick out of that.<br><br>On our shuttle from the airport to our hotel Dan and I were observing the scenery and, just as I was thinking the same thing, Dan mentioned how Orlando could easily be compared to Montreal. Except for the palm trees. And the satellite dishes that point straight up instead of to the side. <br><br>After we checked in to our hotel ...

... in and then went off to the worlds largest, West Edmonton Mall. Had dinner and walked around to see the "worlds largest indoor lake", the skating rink and the amusement park. We bought nothing. Some people I know could spend a week in the place. We ended up in the casino.

... of store fronts, inside stores and generally I was not be a reporter in the mall.  They gave me a big neon green pass and a whole package.  I had one more encounter with an interesting person before lunch.   I found a Quebecois working at the Coast Mountain Living.  It was an outdoors shop which sold tents and sleeping bags.  She had come to Alberta after a boy but was returning to Montreal at the end of the summer.  She has found Western Canadian culture to be too different to the ...

As part of my grade 12 biology class, it was optional to go on a field trip to Edmonton to see a Bodyworlds Exhibition in the Telus World of Science Centre. I thought it would be pretty cool, so I went, but some people might have had issues with it, or their parents because of moral reasons or things like that. As its a Catholic school, we also had to have a meeting beforehand about the Church's point of view on the contents ...

By now, some faces are familiar and some are still unknown having gotten on the train more recently. I heard the gossip both mornings that each night someone was removed from the train for 'being crazy'. I"m not sure if they were like this ...

Today we will be taking a class on public speaking as well as introductory classes to music, drama, and puppetry. Well, that is all I have got for now, but I will update you later and post some pictures for you all to see. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day. God Bless!!! Trent

... trying to keep a steady face because I didn't want to put them through that stress. No kid deserves that. I know, because as a child, I went through it with my parents. I said I would never let my kids go through a situation that made them feel uncomfortable like that. It is brutal. I can still remember the knots in my stomach when my parents would fight. Anyway. My boyfriend would not have any secrecy and though I tried to keep them out of it, my nephews sensed what was going on. I guess ...

Well this is why I need to write everyday. Because try as I might I cannot remember what I did on Thursday. I know I worked and I imagine I did all the other regulars like eat and sleep. I do know that I made it to my 6am yoga class. But was there something else that was more prominent than sipping on tea and playing with Magic every now and than, it truly escapes me. So onto Friday when I decided to sleep in and go to 930am yoga. It was a busier class and apparently they just had ...

... and a half hour drive to Edmonton which felt like a stones throw away. I have been staying with my cousin Steve and Laura at their house in Edmonton. It is a perfect little house with a great feeling of home. From their house I have been able to catch the Light Rapid Transit (LRT) and head to various locations in the city to explore. I have been to the recently renamed Art Gallery of Alberta where there is an exhibit ...
