10:33 pm
Its hard to believe but its 10:33 at night and everyone is already going to bed! I guess I shall be soon as well. After they arrived back this morning from the airport, I was given a bit of a grander tour of their back yard. They keep rabbits and ducks and have several gardens. There is also an assortment of fruit trees including an old McIntosh apple tree, crabapple, pear and apricot as I remember correctly. I should really get out and take some photos of that to send along. After that we went to a 50’s style diner for brunch and then toured to the place where the bulk of the UWP activities are going to be held.
This afternoon I spent showing my host family pictures from back home; both Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. They were quite impressed with the rugged beauty of the Island. I even showed them the tour of around my house and yard too. He was quite impressed with the amount of cement work around the place. For supper we had buffalo meat-loaf with squash potatoes, and salad. It was all quite tasty and filling. We talked at length of world affairs and the place we would be visiting on our travels. We also learned the true meaning of thanksgiving. Peppe is quite the awesome character I must say. I showed him on the wall map where in Canada Nova Scotia and Newfoundland were and probably talked far too much about the different geographical uniquities of the nation. We also compared latitudes and found that where he is from is about 5° farther north than where Griquet is. Anyhow, I probably should get to sleep as well as he has to be up @ 5:45 to catch he ride into work before the rest of us. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow is going to be like...
