Location: Eastern/Central time line, Ontario, Canada.
Time Of Writing: 21:30 (But it's 22:30 accross the road!)
Ok so as I've written above im camping right on a timeline. Crossing the road loses an hour of my life..... Sureal really! This is the 2nd time line I've crossed in the last 2 weeks so I am now 6 hours in time difference from Ireland.
Today was a lazy day, only left Thunder Bay at 4pm and drove 3 hours to our current location. It was definetly a "tech" day as I spent most of if online, emailing, catching up and downloading! Downloaded the new Saw Doctors album.... It's not bad, the song "Well Byes" is funny but the album lacks the trad punch of their pervious stuff I think, played it in the car on the way up here and Marco the German commented that they sound like a band getting old as all the tracks are much slower!! (he has heard all their older stuf!) I also got to catch up on the news today, the story of the Vatican bank being investigated for fraud is hilariors.... I'm guessing someone deposited 2 loafs and 5 fish and surprised people when he then withdrew 23 million quid!!! I wonder will the excuse "it's a miricle" suffice??!!
I enjoy days like today as it gives me a chance to catch up with people back home. It's comforting to know that the country hasent changed much since I left! Being abroad has given me an appriciation for all things Irish and while the fact that nothing ever changes there is fustrating to some - it's music to my ears.... It's a great little country...... Step into any pub in Ireland and everyone is a part time social worker...... "how ya getting on""how's the life treating ya" etc etc.... That I miss but I know it will all be there when I eventually return! I'm surprised I haven't met many Irish on my travels thus far, lots of Germans and Aisans, indeed sometimes I wonder if there is anyone left in Japan considering there are so many of them on them move!
Finally in the prairies of Canada, things are so flat here that if your dog ran away you could watch him do so for about 3 days! Being able to see the glow of lights from a city that's a 2 hour drive away is a strange sensation! Tonight we are back to the camping, we (Marco and I) have developed a routine for the camping nights, I put up the tents - he collects the fire wood! And by firewood I mean he collects whole Forrests!!! Sometimes I don't even know where he gets it from - we could be camping in the middle of nowhere with nothing on the horizon for miles and yet he still returns with more wood than Noah needed to build his Arc from..... German effency at it's best so I ain't complaining!
Not much to report on today but tomorrow we are Winnipeg bound so should find something interesting there. I think it's also time to part company with the long hair! Tomorrow might include a trip to the barbers I reckon.....
On the IPod today: The Sawdoctors New album "The futher adventures of the Sawdoctors"
Today's weather: Sunny day, rained as soon we stopped to make camp.... Typical!
