halloele ihr lieben, auch wenn es nicht mehr lange dauert, bis wir wieder zu hause sind dachten wir, ein paar worte koennen ja nicht schaden...also, erst einmal das uebliche: uns geht es sehr gut! wir haben in der letzten zeit mal wieder echtes glueck mit dem wetter gehabt und konnten demnach die zeit noch richtig geniessen. seit unserem letzten eintrag sind wir wieder ein ganzes stueck naeher an halifax rangekommen. wir haben praktisch schon den grossteil von kanada durchquert und sind in ontario, aber dazu spaeter mehr. hier erstmal - wie ueblich - der reiseverlauf der letzten drei wochen: von whistler aus haben wir uns durch das okanagan valley und nelson, was beides noch in british columbia liegt, auf den weg nach calgary, alberta, gemacht. dort sind wir mit dem campingplatzeigenen shuttle bus in die stadt ... read more

We woke up early and headed straight to Kingston, to see Nigel’s family. On Saturday, we went to a really nice place to swim on Lake Ontario and went to Nigel’s place to relax and catch up with his mom, his sisters, Mallory and Marissa and his aunt Julie. Of course, we played the game pictionary that night, which is always fun. On Sunday, it was the big family party. All the family on Nigel’s mom side was there and even Sean made it there. It was really great to see everybody all in one place. Thank you everybody to come and be with us for this reunion. ☺ On Monday, we went on a boat cruise of the Thousand Islands with Nigel’s mom and Gran. It was a really beautiful ride and was a very ... read more

Just a pic of my maple (i.e. the one that I tapped last year at maple syrup season). Then my batteries froze up and went flat, so there are no more pics! Spring is gradually sneaking in - today it's a mix of rain, freezing rain and snow. It's melting the snowbanks away bit by bit, and if it wasn't raining I'd probably be out looking for new spring shoots at the park. C'est la vie - hopefully it won't be raining on my next day off (some time in July). Hope all is well around the world with everyone. Hope the easter bunny brought much cocolate and happiness. More when I have some pics!... read more

well, the geese are anyway. Apparently the Canada geese didn't see the news, as the biggest storm of the season is due to hit in the next hour or so. About 30-50cm (yes, CENTIMETRES) of snow is expected to fall tonight - although if it falls as freezing rain, then we could be looking at 1998 all over again, when most of the country was out of power for weeks. We've stocked up here on movies and treats, so we're all sorted (water, bah). Will email more if I survive the night (yes, I know I'm a drama queen). It's kind of like the morbid excitment surrounding the summer bushfire season back home. Ciao to all, more interesting stuff later (or whenever it happens). E... read more

Hey everybody (random strangers)! I'm John, 20, and I'm currently living in a town not bloody listed on this website, so I put the closest town of Kingston. I live in Brockville, helping my grandparents at the moment (grandmother has Alzheimer's and grandfather has diabetes), working part-time at a place called Pizza Pizza, and just gotta complete some projects (mainly my theses) and then I'll be done my current studies. In a few months I hope to be on my way out West, though sometime around September I should be off to Europe, running around and meeting some penpals and hopefully making some new friends and the like. It would be awesome to write to others here (preferably around my age, but not necessary), to know about any location around the world (and maybe if ... read more
