Well, Yesterday I decided to walk from my house to birds hill park.
Now before you all call me crazy, let me explain. After folklorama I'm going to BC to visit my cousin Petra, who is having twins. I'll be with them for about a week, and am then going backpacking, so this was to start getting me ready, training if you will.
I left my house just before 9, and had to make a stop off at sobeys to get sunscreen and trail mix for my jaunt. I left there around 9:20 and proceeded to walk down lag.
Along my way, I get a call from Dennis, all I have to say is Congrats to Dennis and Mel, I wish you all the best, and I better be invited :P
A couple of old native guys tried to pick me up (at least I'm assuming, I couldn't understand a word they said), as well as a trucker who just asked if I was alright and needed anything.
Just before I got to the 59er (it was like 12:15 or so), my friend Shelly happened to drive by. She stopped and picked me up and we went to the beach where we met up with Adam, Oskar, Paul and Lindsay (all from work). It was good times.
I reapplied my spf 50 sunscreen like every hour, and I still managed to burn my arms and legs, a bit on my shoulders and my face is a little pink. Perhaps it will turn into a tan?
I know, wishful thinking........
