Back in Canada
Taylor and I went back to Canada again to get my visa sorted out. It had expired some time ago and the school was getting a little antsy about employing an illegal so I we had to go back with all due haste and get it solved. It took over a month and I missed my flight home because it took so long. It was a very frustrating process and I am glad it is over. This one is good until 2012. Just in time for the London Olympics. I am looking forward to that. I have never been to an Olympic games. I would love to go to the winter one next year in Vancouver but this one will have to do, ha ha. Here are the high lites of our tour around Ontario.

This is the scenic caves in Collingwood. It pissed it down with rain when we were at cave 13 of 19, which caused flash flooding and our complete soaking to occur. There was loads of lightening and the rain was very hot. We got back to the base part looking like drown rats. Good call on taking the towels with us mom!

The next day we drove to Tobermory and went on the Fathum Five Islands boat tour. It was a hot sunny day but as soon as we were out of the harbour, very low clouds descended on us and we couldn't see five feet from the boat. I thought we would miss the flower pots all together but low and behold! - just as we turned the corner the cloud lifted. Thanks nature!
And what trip to Ontario would be complete without visiting Wiarton? Actual groundhog never sited.
St. Jacob's was a pretty frequent trip as well. Look at these weird veg! Purple I can accept, but orange is a step to far. Even though I lived in Kitchener for 12 years, I have never been to the butterfly conservatory. It was a pretty good local attraction. I hope we get monarchs at school this year. That's about it for now. I don't have much more to report. I don't really want to go back to work just yet but it is looming. I'm gonna stretch these last few days out as much as I can. Hope all is well with all of you.
