The blog is not finished! But after the Theft (yes, capital letters), the want/need to update the blog took second fiddle to dealing with the Theft and just finishing the trip sans computer. Since being home, it's been hard to get that motivation to complete it. But I will. Ever so slowly. Please be patient!

Day 3 - Once a bellman . . .

The past two days have been a nice way to easy myself into the role of a traveler. From figuring my way around an unknown transit terminal, figuring out a strange cities bus system, to going on a schedual that is completely my own, I am learning just what kind of traveler I am.

I’m also learning just how waterproof my clothes are.

On a train bound for nowhere

hehehe, get it? Yeah Kenny Rogers! That one was for you grandma!

I am on the train right now from Toronto to Ottawa. No Wi-Fi though. Sad times. It’s broken. But oh well. It’s only another four hours or so until I get to Ottawa. I’ll worry about it then. I really only wanted to mess around on Facebook anyways.

So far, this trip has been amazing. I am so happy that I decided to take the train from Saskatoon to Ottawa. Yes, it was a lot more expensive than flying, and took a lot longer, but by and large I thoroughly enjoyed it. Much more than if I had been in a stuffy airplane or bus. Being able to walk around, to unpack and repack my bag(a few times actually. I’m obsessed!), and meet some. . . colourful characters.
