Quebec City

We got Remembrance Day off from school and Friday was an independent study day so Jess and I hitch hiked to Quebec City. This was our first real hitch hiking experience and it went really well! We got on the high way about 10:30 and got picked up within minutes and taken to Moncton (first time a father/daughter picked us up). We got picked up in about 15-20 minutes and taken to Fredericton, an old man driving to his grandkids in the States with lots of Christmas presents. We were crossing the road to get to the on ramp and as a car camp Jess held the sign up and jumped, he pulled over. Randy was going all the way to Quebec City and we had some awesome conversations with him.

We got a little lost trying to find Megan & Patrick's house but ended up there alright. Jess found them via Couch Surfing, they easily won cutest couple award. We spent all day Friday walking around Vieux Quebec, after getting lost. We don't take maps, we don't worry about getting lost, actually we look forward to it. It's not that we're ever completely lost, we like wandering and seeing where we end up. We found a really big toy store (Benjo) and spent quite some time in there, it was so awesome. When I'm rich, I'm gonna own a toy store.

More to come!

Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Cinema in town has a Rocky Horror Picture show the Friday of Halloween. This year we all went and dressed up. It's so much fun seeing it in theater like that versus watching it at home. If you've seen the movie, you know who is who.

Halloween Party at a friends tonight for our Saturday Adventure!

It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll

Adventures

Jess and I have decided to have an adventure every Saturday this year! Keep checking this for updates, and feel free to give us ideas!

Saturday September 11 - Bike out to Bay of Fundy 

~ We were going to bike to Woodpoint but got distracted by a dirt road. The dirt road took us out through some farmers fields and then the Bay of Fundy. The mud just looked too fun to not play in. So we spent an hour or so frolicking in the mud, throwing it and swimming a little.

Saturday September 18 - Party at Cubbin Cove

~ We hitch hiked to Halifax (first time for both of us) and then had the most amazing weekend ever!
