Best use of free time












As a last minute decision, we packed up and headed for the Ovens Natural Park, cliffside camping. With Gen's Geology knowhow we concluded these beautiful cliffs are formed from shale.

We arrived at 10 pm and set up promptly in under 15 minutes...God bless Mere's trail shop tent and all of its efficient glory. After beer and smores (Yum!) we teetered off to sleep and woke up to the pretty ocean which we hadn't yet seen.

Breaky wasn't complicated: pb&j (no cooking required), Genevieve's morning Stella, and an egg. I am extremely proud to admit that I was stupid and forgot the pot but managed to boil it in an empty. If I had more time, I would have fashioned a handle, but afterall, we aren't picky now are we? : )

Mahone Bay was our miniature tourist indulgence. Meredith had her knitting orgasm at the Yarn Shop, and I ironically enough, was checking out a sale on pots. The pearl earrings we bought quickly offset the fact that we desperately needed showers. Nothing that a little jewellry won't fix. Our friend Sam directed us out of town and we started out towards the Lunenburg Co. Winery.

This winery bottles lots of different wines and seemed to have an array of dessert wines. Kiwi, apple, pear, maple, cherry..... it goes on. I picked the Blueberry table wine for $11. This was only after we picked what we could fill our bags with and posed for our spread in Saltscapes Mag. (What 20 year olds go blueberry picking on holiday anyway? That's right bitches, we do, and it was excellent. I ate enough to clear the free radicals out of my body for the next 5 yrs. Give my best to Martha.)

Great show ladies. Time of my life.

Funny! I recognized Meredith in your photos. She occasionally works at Carlito`s. Treats me like a king every time I drop in.
Thanks for your comments on my blog.
Cheers!
