Fundy National Park

(I just found this in my offline posts and realized I forgot to publish it. Oops! This day came after our day at Acadia.)

Okay, doing this trip with Alex was a GREAT decision. It’s so nice to share the driving with someone and not have to make all the decisions. And he’s so easy to get along with! Part of it is that we agree on most things, but he’s also just really easygoing. 

I am so excited to be in Canada. The lady who let us in at the border commented on my excitement; I guess she could see me bouncing in my seat as we pulled up. It was about a five hour drive to Fundy National Park. New Brunswick looks just like Maine- heavy forest, rocky coastline... looks a lot like PNW scenery. We did a short hike to this waterfall:



and went to the coast to see these rock formations that reminded us of the Oregon Coast.





We took the scenic route and saw huge fields of wildflowers. I think this is lupine, and I was obsessed with how it grew in clusters of different shades of purple. 

We had dinner at a Malaysian place in Moncton that was delicious, but the best part of the whole day was dessert. 😍 French culture is huge here; all the signs are in English and French. So we found a Pâtisserie and I had this White Chocolate Rocher cake that tasted like a Ferroro Rocher chocolate, and I looked at Alex and said, “There is nothing anyone could do to make me any happier in this moment.” That white chocolafe was one of the best things to ever happen to me. 

You know what’s great about Alex? I thought he was a health nut, and he is, but his sweet tooth is on the same level as mine. He seriously is the perfect travel partner!

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
