Manatoulin Island

“Let’s go” he whispered devilishly as he pressed down on the gas and then she shrieked laughingly as he sped on the highway into the night.

At least that’s what I recalled as I was falling asleep.

It’s currently the night of the first day here on Manatoulin island. An island in lake Huron. My mom and I are staying at Jeorg’s parent’s place on the island. There are 3 cabins in which we are staying in one (with a sauna we are yet to try.) We arrived late last night (something like 4am) and are staying until Monday… I don’t know exactly yet but I’m hoping early because I want to find some people and do something. Not that I’m not enjoying myself here.

I slept with baxter in my room last night and it was really quite difficult to fall asleep because firstly: I slept for most of the 6 hour car ride… except for the times we stopped at Tim Horton’s when I was awake for a minute or two… as well as Baxter howling once in a while about something… /:

Woke up hours later than my mom and walked to the main cottage and had a delightful breakfast with Mrs. H who made me some scrambled eggs. (: had some homemade toasted dark bread with some homemade black currant jam… to die for!

Other than touring around the area: garden, beach, and general wide open; beautiful forested space there was just talking alllllll day. I was a bit timid earlier on today in front of Mr. and Mrs. H but I’ve opened up to them more as well as their amazing daschund Blackie! I love her! <3 Over dinner Mr. and Mrs. H were talking about a friend? Of theirs that has this wonderful relationship with her partner. Just listening about how they are mature in their relationship has opened my eyes.

It’s not that late but I’m tired, I’m going to head off to bed. I hope there aren’t too many bugs tonight lol.

Night!

Don’t you just love airplane rides when you’re sick?

Stuffy nose,
Crying babies,
No headphones,
Lack of internet access,
And times when you just can’t sleep?

Right…

I’m currently typing this up in word on the plane ride back to … Montreal and then to Toronto but that’s not the point. The point is that my lovely vacation to Paris has ended and I’m being shipped back to Canada for some job searching. >: Now I know I haven’t been posting too much, it’s just cause I’m so tired when we get back to the apartment at the end of the day I just tend to forget about it. So I’m just going to start from where I left off last.

I don’t think I’m forgetting anything? How about I blab about today?

Today was a bunch of last minute packing, not that we didn’t pack yesterday but just a few little things. Mommy and I took the RER while both of my aunts took a taxi. My luggage got stuck in between one of the doors where they take the tickets and two guys had to help pull the doors open to save my luggage! I hope nothing got crushed in there. Because we woke up early I was dead tired through check-in at the airport and well, tried to take a nap in here but with not very good luck. So here I am typing up this… I’ll continue once I get back home or something. We have to rush to the plane in Montreal to Toronto when we land.
