8:30 Newfoundland (This is Our Home)

P.S. I know some of you are probably wondering about the 30 in 8:30.  Newfoundland is a half-hour ahead of Nova Scotia.

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!!

Today is Thanksgiving Day, at least here in Canada. From what I have gathered most people generally have their big Thanksgiving meal on Sunday.  I was not any different.  Yesterday a bunch of us got together at a friends apartment and had a potluck dinner.  It was absolutely fantastic and a great time was had by all. It was a little strange for me to have that Thanksgiving dinner so late at night (we ate about 7pm).  In my family we generally eat about 1 or 2pm. I will write more on the differences of tradition later.
I hope everyone had a lovely day whether it was Thanksgiving or not but just in case
    
                   Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Travels!

Just my Luck

You all remember my discussion of Tim Hortons vs. Starbucks, right?  Well it appears my prayers for a Starbucks is coming just a little late.  This semester CBU is finishing up the building of a new wing.  Rumor has it that after they complete it they will be putting in a Starbucks.  It makes me sad that this will be after I leave.  I suppose it is also a good thing because I would spend a nice chunk of money there with it being the holiday season.  I do love my pumpkin spice lattes and egg nog flavored drinks.

Happy Travels!
