                  Well, its only been a few days since last, but im sitting here with not much to do, so I'll write about my very eventful day yesterday with Greg. I actually got up early for once, before evan was gone for work, which happened to be 10. its a dogs life out here. I used evans cell before she left, thank goodness shes been so good about letting me use it! Greg said he would be over at about 11:30. We decided to walk down Bank st. about 20ish blocks away from downtown to an Irish resturant. It was very good, and it got me more excited and anxious about my upcoming travels. we then walked all the way to the parliment and got a copy of the self-guiding tour booklet and did a tour of all the statues with their history. After that we walked all the way to the war museum, an museum that my mom told me not to miss. We went through that which was very interesting, and about the most learning I have done in the last half year.  We couldnt get a hold of Leigh but wanted to see the lights show at parliment at 9

. Greg decided we should go to Hull, taking the bus. We caught the bus, crossed the river, and entered Quebec. It seems so crazy to have to different drinking ages for cities so close. Its kinda like the whole Lloydminster dealio. Greg made some fish and rice and i chatted with his roommates about french/english relations.

                 We caught the bus back with Leigh and prepared for the light show. It was really awesome because it was more like a huge projector showing Canadian images, quotes, and other propaganda. It really kind of made you feel good to be Canadian. After that we had to part ways, so I went back to Evans. She had finished her 12 hour day and was really tired. So we sat out on her balcony and talked for hours, until nathan his sister and her boyfriend came back. His sister tried to sit on a bucket chair and fell over. Evan and her boyfriend got into a little quible but it turns out they were best friends by the end of the night. This morning i woke up late, which was good considering I need to catch up on some sleep. I went to to the library and printed off my insurance and stuff for contacts, and realize I had my old passport number. crap. That has to be changed. Ive also got laundry down the road, so I think ill relax until Evan gets off work then well go for all you can eat wings at the james st pub.
