On the rememberance day afternoon, (last sunday) around 2:30 PM, I went on a small roadtrip with the Dixons to the town Ray was born in, Grand Falls.
About a 2 hour drive, pretty scenic, way more kick ass than the mountains. I listen to country music the whole way there (and back). A lot of Jason Aldean's song "Johnny Cash".
We made our first stop at a Tim Hortins on the way, because when in Atlantic Canada one must stop at every Tim Hortins you can. Its a rule (evidently).
Our second stop was another of Rays brother, who I cant remember the name of at the moment :)
they live out in the middle of nowhere which was fantastic, seriously.
We then continued on to Grand Falls and ate a resturant called the Hilltop, looking out onto the grand falls. It was dark by the time we got there though so we only saw it from the lights on the dam.
After that we went and visited Rays brother Howard at the hospital for a while and continued on to his other brother Conrad and his wife Helens place where we stayed the night and had breakfast the next morning. (cereal and a lot of muffins).
Ray and Conrad went to visit Howard a last time and Dorthy, Helen and myself crossed the border for about an hour to visit a friend of Dorthy's (Eileen). Because she had a new house she hadnt seen.
We came back, waited for the boys to come back then after eating some more tea and crackers with cheese, amazing cookies and gingerbread we got back on the road and drove back to Freddytown.
I was dropped off at campus around 4:00 PM.
