1. Learning to drive in the snow- not as bad as I
thought it would be (didn’t stall once, but a few burnouts)
2. Making a wood fire … Now that is what I call a true
Canadian!
3. Walking into a weed shop, -“Oh man, this isn’t the
massage place?”
4. Epic snowshoe with Payson, such a nice way to spend a
day. It was freezing cold weather but major props from the epic man himself - Howard
5. Lost my phone while snowshoeing … so cold that I
didn’t or couldn’t do up my zipper on my jacket, Victoria weather does not
prepare you for Colorado weather. Went back snowshoeing the next day looking
for my phone but had no luck. Came home to Victoria phoneless. What luck
though, someone found it up on the mountain. What are the chances?
6. Cyclists can eat a batch of cookies in less than an
hour-“maybe I will do an extra hour on my ride tomorrow to burn off the
chocolate chip cookies?”
7. “Family” night board games- nothing beats Scrabble
and Cranium
8. No Wifi in cold weather means playing board games!
9. Only cyclists would hold a one arm plank off at a
party on a Saturday night.
10. Between Ben
and I we went through a bag of coffee beans every three days (those coffee
machines are way too easy) Can you ever drink too much coffee? If so when is it
too much?
I had such a blast in Colorado. I will definitely be returning
there in the future. This trip would not have been possible without the support
of Global Relay Fund. Also a huge thank-you to Ben and Carmen for welcoming me
into their home.
