It's a Small World

Upon arriving at the New Brunswick/Quebec border we decided that both pictures and a pee break were needed (though not necessarily in that order). As we crawled out of the car, who should we see but Ron Nickerson! It's a small world!

Quebec Trip - The Drive














One blustery weekend in May, Audrey, Tim, and I decided to head up to Old Quebec for a quick little vacation. We would stay in Chateau Frontenac (thanks to Audrey's connections!), explore the old city, and maybe even take in a tour or two.

We left Moncton Thursday morning around 5am (give or take...) with Audrey and I taking in the sights (of our eyelids) and Tim shouldering the brunt of the driving. I'm sure that there were interesting sights and events during the first 4 hours of the trip but I was asleep so I can't tell you about them. Eventually, Audrey and I woke up in time to enjoy being almost run off the road by a house and the road rage of a transport driver. This was our first indication that our trip was going to be one to remember! Luckily, we survived both incidents and managed to arrive safe and sound at the New Brunswick/Quebec border.












As the trip progressed, I came up with an ingenius way to drink my pop without actually having to pick up the can! As you can see, all you need to do is find a ridiculously long piece of licorice, bite off both ends, insert one end into the can, and VOILA! you have a straw! Of course, it didn't work all that well, but that's just a minor detail!
