Well.. I guess we're staying, but why not?? This place is awesome!! I am still working at Mano's and have applied for a teaching licence here in Saskatoon so that I can do some subbing, and Christian Landed himself a great job with a company called Easy Home where he is doing collections and deliveries all over the city. He says he really likes it because he's been driving all over Saskatoon and it's been a great way to learn about the city and he's getting along great with the people he works with. We both have made quite a few friends here and are excited to experience all that Saskatoon has to offer, especially come summer. So, we thought we would give everybody a chance to see our sweet little pad that we landed to ... read more

So... we came back to Saskatoon... Why you ask?? Well let me tell you a funny little story. Whilst staying with the fantastic folks in the Gropper House in Saskatoon during the end of October, we ran into, and became friends with an amazing individual named Joule. She had been hanging out at the house a few times and we were grateful to hear her preform some of her original poetry at Lydia's. We got to talking about the future and our interest in sustainable farming. Christian had mentioned to her that he wanted to become a carpenter at some point in his life and that we really wanted some first hand experience dealing with animals and doing some upkeep on a farm. And wouldn't you know it, Joule was looking for someone to farm sit ... read more

Saskatoon, how I love thee, let me count the ways! Saskatoon, by far, the best place we've been to on our trip based on the feeling of the town and the people (minus the bitter cold weather...). It doesn’t have the crazy sky scrapers, it doesn’t have the bustling subways or trams, and it sure doesn’t have any famous buildings or people walking the streets. But that’s what gives Saskatoon its beauty and the people are amazing. We could feel it as soon as we got here that it was different, which is probably why we stayed so long. The first thing we did in Saskatoon was head to a local pub called Lydia's for the Halloween version of their weekly poetry slam. The slam is a competition of local poets dishing out there very best ... read more

Well I arrived late last night, Drove with a co-worker all the way from Vancouver to Regina non-stop. Well we stopped once for about 15 mins to eat and get gas. She drove from Van to Calgary, and I drove the rest of the way. I found it really odd to be away from the mountains and ocean of my native BC, it seems as soon as one enters Alberta, there are no longer such things as mountains and bodies of water. The road stretched as far as the horizon, and went straight for hours and hours. After one sore-ass ride to Regina, we got there in the middle of the night. I drove while Denise got out the maps to help navigate our way to the youth hostel in downtown Regina. ... read more
