Last day in 100 Mile!

So it's my last day in 100 Mile and I'm sitting inside updating my blog. Pretty sad, eh? Well, this might be my last chance to update you on my Canada trip. What have I been doing all week? Good question. I better consult my mini diary. Okey, now I know!

On Tuesday I spent the morning making Dumle muffins. Muffins with caramel for you that don't know what Dumle is. Then I had lunch with my Canadian aunt Arlene. She is not really my aunt, but she is of Norweigan descent and pretty much acted like an aunt when I was here for my exchange. After the lunch I spent time with Jaimie. We and a neighbor went on a long walk in bear country. I have a hard time relaxing in those areas, but we didn't even see one from a distance which I wouldn't have minded.

Wednesday was pretty quiet. I had lunch with Jaimie, but we sat behind a laptop each so there was not much of a conversation with it. I got to drive Jan's Ford home from town all by myself. It was fun! Great car! I went out for dinner seeing my old teachers Mr Ardiel (who was the first one that got me interested in geography) and Mrs Lamoureux (I hope I got the spelling right on the last one).

I had to set the alarm for Thursday morning. Jan and I were driving up to Prince George (4 hours north of 100 Mile) to pick up Megan who finally was done tree planting (not really, but she took a few days off to see me and to go river rafting). I got to drive half the way! Fun, fun, fun!!! It was great seeing Megan again! She was really tired though. After some shopping in PG we drove back south. After an evening of visiting and waxing of legs (Megan's legs were pretty hairy and disgusting). Since I had taken over her room we shared the bed for the night. She is a real blanket thief!!! Not many hours of sleep that night.

100 Mile isn't a large town but on Friday I managed to spend 4 1/2 hours there mostly watching Megan run errands. Then we went home, she packed and left for her river rafting. After Megan left Jaimie and I went for another bike ride out to the highway and back which is about 12 km with all the tiering hills on the way back. I went to bed early happy to have the whole bed all to my self again :o)

Time for some sightseeing! Jan, Mike, Jaimie and Jan's friend Donna took me to see three water falls and a beautiful meadow on Trophy Mountain. I didn't get to see the longest water fall in Canada though which I think is about 140 m, but I need to save stuff for my next visit! I got to see though one black bear on the road during the trip. I could have seen two if I didn't have a power nap! We also could have seen grizzly bears up on Trophy Mtn, but there was too much people up there which scared them away. They apparently like some of the flowers that grow up there.

I don't want to bore you with too much text so here are some pictures!

Me in the meadow.

The third water fall of the day, and probably the coolest. I can't remember its name though. It started with S.

Kidston's wonderful cat Phoenix.

And the two Border Collies, Bella and Brie .

Another humming bird picture. I got three in there. You can just see the tail of the third one in the upper right corner.

Jaimie got offended when I didn't put her flower picture on my blog that I talked about in a previous contribution. So here it is! Beautiful!
See you later alligator! Or not!
