Things of note.. today


firstly..

look at what's coming to the iPhone/ touch...
YES! This game (and the slightly more awesome counterpart Cross Country Canada) was a big part of me getting into computers. I cannot wait!



And on a rather sad note. Craft magazine is the latest victim of the economic downturn. Hopefully the website and blog will live on.

A short post on Christmas

oh hai!
so i've been a busy bee trying to get updated on all the stuff that has gone on the past year. It's been fun finding all my pictures, uploading them and writing little bits of the trip. I've done this all because I received the nicest loveliest camera for Christmas and it's inspired me to take more pictures. So I will have more to share.. I just want to get caught up a little before that.
that's all

Lunenburg


Lunenburg - Bluenose II, originally uploaded by girl from finito.

Lunenburg is where the battery in my camera died.. I managed to get these shots done and then "borrowed" my sisters camera for the rest of the trip.
Lunenburg was a Germanic settlement and all the churches around town attest to it. We did a fair bit of walking and exploring around this UNESCO world heritage site.. making the necessary stops at the Bluenose II and the Maritime Museum. More pictures and posts from the trip will happen in March when my sister comes to town with her pictures.
so I'll leave you with these.



Lunenburg - Lennox Inn, originally uploaded by girl from finito.

Mary and I got really excited about staying in this Inn - the oldest continuously operating Inn in Canada and the most original eighteenth century Inn in North America. Our parents were not as impressed with the lack of central heating.

Peggy's Cove

We rented a car in Halifax and drove down the coast to Peggy's Cove. If we paid any attention to the guide books we would have gotten there earlier. This small, very small town, bursts with tourists! It's like a tiny Tofino with the same amount of tourists.The lighthouse is totally accessible which is cool and it's also a post office!


I wish I had gotten a shot on the bog of all the erratics (perched boulders) that were left by the glaciers retreat and melt. The whole area was like a moon-scape.
