This morning, we had some rather weird weather here in Lethbridge.  Jose went out to put stuff in the car before we left, and he came back in saying that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, but it was raining.  When it was my turn to go out, I looked towards Jose’s car (west) [...]

The week is over!! We’re in Cochrane!! We have help!! But I’m not thrilled about any of that, can you tell?   To fit with our week though, getting here was not without its… challenges shall we call them? This morning was probably the best yet (of course). We got out the door in good [...]

I missed writing yesterday because I fell asleep on the couch in the basement after marking Social Studies homework.  I went to bed far too late the night before, and I could really use some time to catch up on my sleep.  It was only 10:30 last night, but it wasn’t enough, I need more!  [...]

I’m done.  I’m really, really done.  According to my mum (who I phoned for much needed moral support tonight) it will get better now.  Tuesday is a hard day because I haven’t totally found my groove yet.  I hope it’s true.  I’ve lost track of what day it is.  I had to check the previous [...]

Here we are on the ninth day of Christmas.  It’s just started feeling like I’m on vacation after the hectic days leading up to Christmas.  Boxing Day was when it kicked in.  But let me back up! The entire holiday has been spent at home instead of traveling around, and it’s been awesome!  On the [...]

Saturday, May 10: Saturday morning, we were very grateful for Jose’s dad.  Jose had set the alarm on his phone to go off at 6am because we had to be in the lobby with our luggage at 7:00.  When he got up, he was supposed to phone his dad.  At 6:15, our phone rang, and [...]

Friday, May 9: Last day in Cuba. We took it easy in the morning, finally having nothing to rush off to. It was delicious to sleep in, and for the first time in a few days I wasn’t tired. I wanted to take some scenic pictures of the beach and stuff, so Jose and I [...]

Wednesday, May 7: Wednesday was the day of the wedding. The wedding party, minus Natalia, met at the gazebo at 9am to chat with the wedding organizer. The organizer never showed up (she thought it weird that we wanted to do this), but we discussed what was supposed to happen, and the order we were [...]

Tuesday, May 6th: With Tuesday being the day before the wedding, we didn’t want to do anything too drastic so that we’d be exhausted for the wedding. We decided that it would be a good day to go to town and visit the markets for a little shopping. Heading into Varadero required that we take [...]

Monday, May 5: Once again, Jose and I took the unheard of luxury of sleeping in. We went to the beach again, and this is where it’s getting hard for me to remember what went on. We did so much, and went to the beach and the pool and the piano bar, etc. so often [...]
