Days 5 and 6? I think? I'm already starting to lose count of days.

Day 5:

Char took us for a drive around the southeastern part of PEI. we went to Georgetown, got lunch in Montague, and then went to Cape Bear and Point Prim to see some lighthouses! The lighthouses were pretty cool, the one at cape bear was the lighthouse where they first heard the titanic's distress signal. That was a fun and exciting time! We also went to Buffaloland provincial park, where we got to see the buffalo graze! I was really really excited about that! I have no idea why there are buffalo on PEI, but it was pretty rad to see them!

After that, we went to Frank's relative's 85th birthday party, which was a potluck with a bunch of country people I've never met. I have never felt so out of place, all i could do was wait for it to end. But end it finally did, and I met some cool people, i guess.

then, we drove into charlottetown, and went to the City Cinema to watch an aussie movie about an adulterous couple who jack a big bag of cash. It was called the Square. it was intense. Also, nothing is open. not even coffee shops. or anything. it was ridiculous, trying to find something to do for the 45 minutes before the movie started. ANYWAY then we went home and went back to sleep. :)

Day 6:

we basically spent the day prepping for the next 4 days, where we'll be driving around the coast and camping at the national parks. get ready for pictures of sweaty dirty jeri and luke without a shower and with only the bare minimum of food! so there won't be any blog posts for a while.

we went shopping for groceries, bought stuff like freezedried milk and stuff! yum.

updates to follow in about a week or so, so long for now, peoples!

Days 3, 4, etc.

Day 3:

went into Charlottetown, investigated the beauty of the downtown historic area, decided that it would be a cute little city to live in, but apparently in the winter there's really not much to do. It's tiny! I had no idea that there were only 40,000 people in that little city. :) That doesn't even classify as urban under American standards!

Anyway, we went to province house where we saw where the legislature sits, and watched a cute little video about it. Aaand... we had coffee at Beanz, aaaand... we went into St. Dunstan's basilica, spent like 5 seconds in there admiring the architecture, then deciding that it was awkward just standing in a house of prayer. We also went to the Confederation Centre Art Gallery, which was kind of cool, we saw a bunch of old photos by this dude who went across Canada. Sound familiar?

Then we got bored and went home, and later we went back in for dinner at Hunter's with Char and Frank, then we all went to Baba's lounge for a few drinks and to see the Idlers. :) Then, tired as anything, we rested our heads on our pillows and passed out.

Day 4:

Wooo twenty-something kilometre hike through the crazy PEI wilderness! I saw bears and foxes and moose and barracudas!

No, I didn't.

But i did see a couple blue heron and two squirrels! they were super cute and cuddly.

I'd forgotten how much I liked hiking, it's getting me really excited to do the dobson! I can't wait, it should be so much fun to do something I've ever done before.

aaand that's about it for now! updates to follow for the like 1 person that's reading this.

Days 1,2, and the beginning of 3

Day 1:

- drive to Riverview, visit with grandparents, run errands, listen to endless stories about how the cat, Mariah, is, in fact, a male. oh yes. Eat pizza from Sobeys, listen to Nanny discuss for 10 mins with the cashier the fact that she got a free pizza. Sympathize silently with the cashier.
- spend the night at Vanessas, watching AI, gossiping, the usual.

Day 2:

- leave Vaya's, head to PEI, do shit, get lost, etc.
- eat lunch in Charlottetown
-head to Char's, plan our week, visit.

Trip time!

Ahh, I can't wait!

Soon, I embark upon my voyage across Canada, to live, laugh, learn, etc. I can't wait to see what the future brings. I'll try to update regularly, but they'll probably be few and far-between.

good luck in the summer, everyone!

Love Jeri

I have another confession to make.

I'm still madly in love with JT.

this post has no title.


I am craving change, I believe the summer will be good for me.

Platinum blonde, anyone? Maybe I'll finally take the plunge this weekend. I've been told that I could rock it. :)

I don't know what else to say. I feel like school is sucking the life out of me.

Here's a cute picture:
