"I remember singing to the radio/
On a sunset strip-we were driving slow/
The top was always down/
and the stars were always shining bright..." -MXPX (Kings of Hollywood)
Good news and more good news! #1. I am home now, and also alive! #2. the good ol' PC is back! Wohoo!
So the trip up north to Jasper was not all it was cracked up to be. It was lots of fun, don't get me wrong here, but it was just such a long way to go for so short a time! On the way there we elected to kind of take the long way just so that we would have decent cell phone reception just in case my truck didn't quite make it. (for 600$ it damn well better have made it!) so it took about 8 hours to get there. I almost had the chance to visit Sita in person, but sadly that didn't end up happening as we were worried about being late (not to mention that it is a stupid city! Stupid! Who designed those roads anyways?! Gah!). Oh well, later days Largo!
We did a little hiking around Jasper during our free time, but the lack of decent sleep was killing me so I didn't do as much as I wanted to. the conferenc-y bits were interesting. We had some good laughs, but during a couple of my sessions I was wondering where the speakers were going with things. You know, you're sitting there going "uhhhh.. whats the point of this exactly?" Yeah, that was me. Heheh!
Anywho, we took a different route on the way home and managed to shave 2 hours off the driving time. I guess that's because we went 140 kilometres per hour the whole way, through the mountains and everything! WHOOO!!!! I made Stu pull over to take this shot of one of the glaciers. It just looked so cool!
It's a little tough to see. It didn't come out as well as I had hoped it would but, meh! And an extra added bonus, we didn't hit any wildlife (although I did have to curse a whole lot when a random moose or big horn sheep would pop up onto the road. Stupid animals. In any case, I return slightly more educated even if a little tired and stressed! I'll have to do some catching up with you guys this weekend! TTFN!
