Well, we’ve decided we’re not very good a blogging. It’s been three weeks, and SO much has happened, but we’ve blogged nothing!
In the few days before we left Canada, we decided to take a night out at the local Courtenay casino. Well, what an exciting time that was! The high rollers that we are, we put a whopping 5 bucks into the first machine. Gambled our hearts out down to 4 bucks on the electronic slot machines, one penny at a time. We got bored. After wandering around aimlessly for a while we sat down at another machine and lost. Down to our final bet, 18c left, and lo and behold, we came out of there with 62 dollars. We won some free games then sat there for about ten minutes while the machine just kept on going on its own winning and winning more. It was hilarious.
We were planning to leave Courtenay, BC on Monday April 15th. I got my visa in the mail the Friday before… the visa… the critical piece of paper that would allow me (Adam said he didn’t care and would go without me) to actually cross the border. Remember the LARGE 4x4 truck that Adam alluded to a while back, about how it was so big he had to jump to get in…well, that was to be our ride for the 2400km trip south. Some ingenious packing filled up the whole back of the pick up, despite several attempts by Adam to discard many of my belongings – namely my crystal glassware.
Jeez that is like a whole car on the back of the truck!
ReplyDeleteI bet you can't wait to take that thing off road adam, with nothing but cyrstal glassware in the tray :)
ReplyDeleteWell, the truck did find some sand on the way down, but that will be in a future post.
