well, that was a whirlwind trip. the highlights include:
– a singular moose sighting at the tail end of our 690km drive.
– meeting cousins and second cousins who didn’t know i existed.
– watching my family drink themselves into acts of idiocy.
– a killer sunburn and about three billion mosquito bites.
– spending more consecutive time with my father than i have since i was a pre-teen.
– naps.
– driving a shiny blue PT Cruiser around halves of two provinces.
i’m really glad i went and got to (re-)connect with that side of the family and see a little bit more of the country, but i was even more glad to return to my home at the end of it.
