A whole lot of Nothing.

Planned Nothingness so far has been awesome... we've just been hanging out and taking life as it comes. Friday night we went to watch a friend play soccer, and unfortunately hurt his ankle in the process. Afterwards we went to a restaurant for 2 for 1 appies. We had a smorgasbord of food between J and I... I ordered spring rolls and garlic ribs, and J ordered Shrimp and Crab Kisses (mushrooms stuffed with cheese, shrimp, and crab, and seasoning of some sort) and Sweet Thai Chili wings. My favourites were the Shrimp and Crab kisses and the garlic ribs. So tasty!

Yesterday we took a drive up to Barriere... We drove up one road until it turned into a dirt road, and then took the McClure ferry across the river. If any of you have been to Belize, this ferry is like a slightly more high tech version of the Belize ferry on cables that you wind across. This one has a small motor, but it too is on a cable to guide it across. It fits 2 cars. That's it. You drive down a dirt hill, over some wooden planks onto the small wooden dock and onto the boat. It makes Albion look positively glamorous. Good times!
Barriere is a really small little town, about 35 minutes north of Kamloops. We just wanted to check out some houses up there, although I don't really want to live out of town. Anyways, you really realize how big that fire was a few years back... The hillsides are all still black, I can't imagine what it was like when fire was ripping through those forests. It would've been very scary.

Today we didn't do a lot... We went to a church service, which unfortunately today was a little disappointing. The music wasn't nearly as good as it has been in the past, but at least the sermon was pretty good. I ended up having a nap in the afternoon, I was really tired for some reason. Then we had a couple friends over for whiskey and mountain bike videos. Ok, so I didn't actually have any whiskey, I made a couple pina coladas for me and the other girl that was there.

And now I shall go to bed, and sleep in, and have a fantastic day, and GET PAID FOR IT! I love holidays. :)
