Are very rare! My job normally doesn't give me Saturdays off for no reason but I guess today is an exception: and I am loving every bit of it. I started my day with making myself french toast, then went to the market where I got cherries for mom and helped myself to some beautiful peonies and now I am sitting inside of Thatchers and sipping on some amazing iced coffee and reading and now blogging. It took me a while to get into the mood of blogging because I refuse to do it out of obligation or forcing myself- that's why this blog post is so boring thus far: I'm not even trying, I'm just lazily typing.. hahahahaha. and now Sabir came and I'm sure I won't get anything done from this point on.
Ok anyway, lets tell you about Canada. We got there on Thursday afternoon and were met with some rain but went kayaking anyway and absolutely loved it. We kayaked around the harbor where we saw seals and ate kelp and I got to hold a jellyfish. The next day we went ziplining and to Craigdaroch Castle- we enjoyed everything. The castle was so beautiful and felt absolutely enchanting. We found a beach and just did a lot of chillin. We also went sailing on Saturday evening and just enjoyed walking around the harbor and historical sites as the Parliament building and Empress Hotel lit up. On Sunday we went to Butchart Gardens and visited the Empress Hotel for afternoon tea- this was my favorite simply because it's our most memorable experience (fun fact: tea for 2 at the Empress Hotel costs about $150... let's just say we didn't expect that!) Our biggest difficulty was the fact that even though Victoria isn't very far, it is still in another country and our phones didn't work- we had to rely on an old school map to find our way around.
Coming back home was disappointing because Victoria was so lovely and classy and I enjoyed not working so much. Now I am back to reality and found out that my last day at NWHF is going to be on August 14th, which made me panic a bit about finding a job soon- I am convinced that there is nothing worse than job searching. It's been a difficult week and I have a million things to do, goodbye faithful blog readers.
