    trimester 3!

    Can't say I'm terribly excited about the last leg of Katimavik. At least I'm doing everything in my power to make it the most relaxing 3 months - volunteering at the St. Albert Senior's Club, waking up at 5:30am every morning and easing into the day, playing piano again.

  • Hartland

    I was in Hartland, NB yesterday visiting the longest covered bridge (in Canada?) and what was more breathtaking was the chunks of ice I saw floating down the river. It's spring and the thawing  is pretty amazing to look at. Apparently, it's become really dangerous as well because the ice builds up as it floats and it came close to hitting the "longest covered bridge". Hence, we couldn't drive through the bridge, but we got outta the car and ran across it.

    CBC - Meanwhile, a three-kilometre-long ice jam built up below the world's longest covered bridge in Hartland on Monday.

    Every Saturday Morning, I ritually go to this farmer's market. It's mostly food...and just like Richmond Nightmarket, I spend a lot of $$ here buying random things- lip balm, cheese, SAMOSAS, beef jerky, fresh juice

    So far, I've been to 2 walking bridges which are both walking distance from my house and work. Fredericton is so pretty that I basically walk home everyday from work. It's about a 40 min walk, but the snow and cold doesn't really matter when I'm all bundled up doing exercise.

    So I'm feeling really settled into Fredericton.
    Been a whirlwind of activity - volunteering at the Guatemala fundraiser "Noche Latina", helping out at Fredericton's Winterfest, going downtown to Crumbs coffee shop lots, visiting the University of New Brunswick's campus pub, even sitting in on a "Community Problem Solving" 3rd year course at Renaissance College...Mmm. loving city life.
