peace be the journey

I already did an update. I wrote it outside of the west Edmonton mall, which was Saturday but I guess it was accidentally while I was actually trying to edit it. I wrote popular instead of population and POOF! No more blog. So here goes again.

Karaoke was awesome! I would be happy to do that every Thursday night. I even got up and sang some country tunes! I put a twenty dollar bill into one of the machines and left with $106! I hung our with Herb and Darren and Brian when they were done playing hockey. It was fun.

Friday I went to Edmonton to so some errands with my brother. Apparently he doesn’t like big cities either and he cursed the entire way in. We stopped for food at the mongolian grill which charges by weight. Both our meals cost $29.40. Coincidence? I think not. Brothers? For sure! Even though Herb didn’t finish his and I had extra rice with mine. LOL! He picked up some things for the renovation he is doing and picked up some bait at work because we decided to go fishing. We picked up Darren and headed for the river. We were unsuccessful but I had fun. Then we went looking for places to put up a new tree stand before heading home and calling it a night.

Saturday I got a ride into the city and walked a few kilometers to the west Edmonton mall. I was lost before I even stepped through the front door. Why is there a skating rink in the middle of the mall? The mall would be much smaller if there wasn’t two or three of every store. Some of them have three or four… Under one roof. Silly mall builders.

There were a million things I wanted to try. In the end I just clapped like a child while watching the roller coasters in galaxyland before I saw the fire breathing dragon outside the imax theaters. And then it was time for BUNGEE JUMPING!!! I chatted with the guys for about twenty minutes before we headed up to the platform. They had as I lay dying playing… 106 feets above the pool. It was pretty cool. I stepped to the edge and jumped off. Its really weird to fall and fall and fall and not hit the ground. I had to visit the casino and then decided I had spent enough time in the mall.

In the end the population did not turn into zombies and I survived the hordes and the fall. Myself and Suzanne headed out in search of food. She suggested Julio Barrio’s and it sounded great to me. We had an amazing meal. The staff was awesome. Good salsa. Good rice. Good times. The place was packed. we explored the city some more before going dancing. I gave lessons and that ended my time in Edmonton.

Sunday was a lazy day. The boys were out and the glades was on TV. I watched the new episode with Nikki and Lisa and we had a bbq and I bought a ticket home… I’m going to miss my brother and sister and Bruderheim and that comfy blow up mattress.

Today I got up and Herb decided we would go fishing again. We loaded up the boat and drove and drove to the lake. We were told there would be some good fishing. The rain stopped as we set out into the lack. My brother caught a jackfish and a perch but both of them were too small to keep. I caught what I catch best… NOTHING! But I had fun. We headed back to. He shore and went home so I could pack up. We are on our way to the airport. I fly out at 12:50am. First we are going for food. I don’t know where.

I plan to sleep on my flights. Flying is such a hassle. Ill be in St. Johns around noon and on my Katmamdu shortly after. It will be weird to be home with the kittens but I guess it needs to be done. See you soon Newfoundland. Peace be the journey!
