Where is she???

Hi! I'm back. My apologies for not updating sooner. Last I wrote here I had just arrived in P.E.I. In a nutshell, I quickly fell in love with PEI (just as I did with New Brunswick); we slept one night in our car by the side of a road in the midst of red potatoe fields and two nights in a lovely Victorian B&B in Charlottetown; we explored several incredible beaches, found a cute fishing village, ate lobster, walked through the haunted woods of Anne of Green Gables, took a picture of Green Gables from the back (too cheap to pay to go in), ate lobster, listened to a Maritime band play in an Irish pub, and visited the room where the idea of the Confederation of Canada was birthed. Here are some pics to give you a taste of the beauty and tranquillity of this province:
Yup - the dirt roads really are all red! We drove down this one and walked past the little graveyard, through the wet grass, and down a little cliff to find a pretty spot to eat our breakfast.This is what we found - it was pretty much amazing.
A fishing village.

The lobster that AmyLou and I ate in Charlottetown.

Yeah, I almost didn't want to come home after such an amazing time in the Maritimes but once I was back in Vancouver I was happy to be here again. For the first time in over four years, I am spending the summer in Vancouver, living with my family. I've just completed my second week of work at a daycamp in West Vancouver - supervising and taking 30+ kids on fieldtrips every day is pretty crazy and sometimes tiring, but I'm loving it. The children are delightful and there is never a dull moment. We've also been having a lot of visitors from out of town staying at our house which has also made home a busy but fun place to hang out. Two of my roommates from my 3rd year stayed here last weekend so we could all go to Melissa's wedding together. I almost feel like I am having too much fun. :) I'm enjoying the fact that my job is just a daytime thing and that my evenings and weekends are free from homework or prep work!

What will happen to this blog now that my 2007 summer adventures are over? Or are they even over? Chances are I won't be writing quite as often, but I know that God will continue sending adventures my way, whether big or small, and at times I may feel inclined to share them. So keep checking back once in a while!
