Bonjour de la France; French keyboards always make typing a challenge! We have had a nice time here in Paris. The weather has been very pleasant and warm and we have been to many of Paris' best places- the Arc du Triomphe, Louvre, Sacre Coeur, Musee d'Orsay, Montmartre, into Louis Vuitton on the Champs Elysees etc. Jenn of course has never been here so that has been a treat for her; Travelling in a big city with many touristis can become very exhausting so we are looking forward to heading to Nice tomorrow to the South. As you have read we [View Full Entry]

Helo again-- apologies that these are both being written on the same day--having way too much fun! Tuesday began the big welsh roadtrip to North Wales. Daf had it all figured out and we packed into his blue vauxhall and headed north. Starting early (8a.m.), I know Dad, it's hard to believe I rose that early, we drove to Machynlleth where we paused for beautiful photos of the estuary out to sea. Next we headed to Dolgellau and then over to Harlech to see the 12th century Norman castle that casts its shadow high on a mount above the town. Dad, [View Full Entry]

Helo from Wales! We arrived here on Monday afternoon after a fantastic train ride via Birmingham and then to Aberystwyth where my friend Daf lives. Daf and I met in Grenada last summer on our mission trip. Throughout the countryside we saw many sheep (defaid), some even running up hill... silly sheep! As soon as you cross over into Wales the geography changes quite significantly into rolling hills and small mounts. The sky was so blue and the weather was phenomenal. At one stop an elderly gentlemen dressed complete with a brown trenchcoat and Sherlock Holmes hat boarded our car; I [View Full Entry]

Cheerio everyone, We have just arrived in Oxford after a whirlwind of activity in London. We arrived on Thursday after a bit of a delayed takeover for a mechanical issue that soon got itself worked out. While in flight Jenn celebrated her 29th birthday. I sang to her as we flew over Cornerbrook Newfoundland. This was Jenn's first trip across the pond. When we arrived in Gatwick after only a bit of shut-eye, we had to stand in a customs line for 2 hours... I have never seen one so long. We were fortunate not to have a connection like some [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, Hope you are all doing well wherever you are. As many of you know, I am on a leave from teaching this year and will be travelling for a lot of this fall. First stop is to Europe with my friend Jennifer from Trent. We are flying out tonight to London Gatwick and will be in London, Oxford, Aberystwyth Wales, Paris, Nice and Lyon France. We are off for three weeks. Many of you have been following my journeys for the last little bit and I hope I can entertain you with commentary on the food (for Gladys especially), [View Full Entry]

Here is the rest of my Trinidad adventure... sorry it is all at once. I am writing retrospectively as I now back in Canada and back in school after a wonderful March Break in Trinidad. Here is the next segment... On Monday night we watched the opening ceremonies of the World Cricket tournament being hosted in Jamaica. It was neat to get a feel for the music, costumes, and players of cricket too. Tuesday, I left Tracy for a few days and embarked on the “Road Trip all over Trinidad” part of my journey with my new friend Jesse as driver, [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, how you going? ( I am going to recap here what happened now after the fact). This morning Tracy and I went to Grand Bazaar a shopping mall that was the largest in the whole Caribbean to recent times. We went into the Carib beer paraphenalia shop to take some photos for my friend Ryan who lives in Texas. We also went into the grocery store and got to see all the local food on the shelves. I think there is a lot to be learned from the shelves-about what ingredients are important, what things are not used and [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, how you going? (as they say in Trinidad). I am back on my travels again and I am currently in D'abadie Trinidad for my March Break. I arrived here on Saturday after a pretty uneventful flight southward. You could feel the change in temperature as we headed southward. In fact as soon as we hit about Virginia it was sunny skies all the way through. I sat with a man from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on my way down who works for the T T express ferry service that goes between Trinidad and Tobago. He told me some of the [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, I am back in Canada now after a three week experience of a lifetime in Grenada. I will just recap the past couple of days to finish off this travel blog. Friday at St. Ervans was a beautiful day of reflection and hanging out with friends. We had reports and a newsletter as well as thank you cards to put together for CANACOM in the morning. We then had a reflective walk around the property of the retreat centre thinking about different things and reading some scripture passages with our friends. We also shared and committed to our mission [View Full Entry]
