The Varscona Edmonton

... ducks, swans, grouse, etc. There were many small lakes, ponds and wetland areas which seemed to feed in the North Saskatchewan River.<br><br>We arrived and set-up camp and then went to the West Edmonton Mall. This place was mind boggling. This is the largest shopping and entertainment center in the world, which featured more than 800 stores, 100 ...

... her apartment for a few hours before heading out to Sherwood Park for an Easter meal. Dann's family was celebrating the holiday with a turkey dinner and they graciously invited me to join them. The weather was warm, so we sat in the sun until dinner was ready, and I then ate my first traditional holiday meal in a very long time. The Wurster family was friendly and welcoming, and it was heartwarming to spend the holiday with a family, even if it wasn't mine! Dann ...

... my past I also had a Fearful Glimpse into my Possible Future. Today I Went to wall-mart to get some last second supplies That they had in there travel section, This is where i learned i am not very domestic. The very mammoth size Of this new "super" wall-mart Was intimidating to say the least, Everything one could imagine under one roof... Now just if I could figure out where... So I wondered the carefully labeled isles in search of some travel supplies I ...

... African star lit nights and of course camel spiders and scorpions. I dont know how we could possibly come back the same people as when we left. We celebrated our booking with Ethopian food at Languno Skies on Whyte. We then commenced smiling from ear to ear and rapping to "Good Vibrations" on the way home in the car. It all makes the next 324 hours of free nursing labour feel not that long :) Only 12 weeks till AFRICA and the MIDDLE EAST!

... back in Canada and let them know what's going on. Especially my parents, because I'm sure they'll be reading this and be worried sick about me ever step of the way. [waves to Mom & Dad] I still have a lot to do. There are clothes to buy and lists to make and jigs to jig, but this is really happening and I can't imagine what I'll be feeling 4 months from now when I'm preparing to board my first trans-Atlantic flight. See you all next post!

Car camping gets old, of course, even when you can get showers, so I'm ready to be back in Edmonton when I finally tire of the countryside. This time I forego the Comfort Inn, or whatever, and go stay in the hip part of town in an old flea-bagger for half the price. I wish I&#8217;d started out there, but places like this you can&#8217;t book online. Everybody&#8217;s nice, too, just like in the ...

... bear spray or explosives?" "No Ma'am' "Any tobacco or alchohol?" "We have a couple of beers." "That's all? Enjoy your stay in Canada" The Waterton side of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park may prove more expensive for us than the Glacier side did. Our USA Federal Lands Pass is no good so we are out 40 bucks in day use fees for three days. Camping is nearly 80 bucks when in the states it ...

... the river to come over, we cracked some cold beers. We were trying to race the heat and snack on what would have been sushi. It cooked within minutes on my 20th floor balcony. There was just no hope for any kind of coolness way up here. After catching up on a few months of news, we decided it would be a good idea to take a dip in the refreshing cool waters of the pool downstairs. After bringing our temperatures down to normal, we laid out among the flowers in the patio ...

... higher. I suppose this is good because I now focus more on my practice. Still. It's boiling and that's all I need to know. I can still imagine what madness is behind that square yellow stickynote. Hotness. Mad hotness. I came home and got the bright idea that it would be good to invite my parents over for lunch. I hadn't seen them for a while and I had some delicious stuffed mushroom caps with their name on it. Oh yeah...pawn off the 'shrooms on the 'rents. You know it! I ...
