our internet connection is super sketchy.

we spent the day wandering around halifax and now we are back at the guest inn watching dr. phil. i forgot that halifax is built on steep hills and resembles san fransico.

we ran into are new friend phil today. we are going to his show tonight and a bunch of other people we stayed with / met at sappyfest in sackville.

i better post this before i lose the connection.
so frustrating.

halifax

we made it to halifax

and to our surpise,

the hostels were full. during our brainstorming we passed an informationsburo and we had two options within our price range. Staying at the university or staying at a guest house. The guest house was half the price, so we chose that.

we are close to downtown, just on the other side of citadel hill.

i can't remember what movie it is with the cute granny that ends up being a killer (maybe texas chain saw?), but the owner reminds me of her. i can't help but feel we are getting watched. ah, well. we have two single beds and cable TV for $50 a night.

our missions today:

LAUNDRY

and eat. we decided to have a rest once we got here and we ended up sleeping from 6 pm to 8 am. tired ladies.

again:

there are apparently black and white beaches here. we are about to drive the northern tip of the island.

Prince Edward

This island is filled with red earth.

We got to PEI yesterday via the confederation bridge. We are staying just by the ocean. There are no large wildlife here. Our bear count will probably stay at six until we head back west.

Jellyfish are creepy. I can't tell if they are alive or not. Dead ones float. Alison stepped on one and it squirted juice on my leg. gross.

Sackville was the best. Amazing. Super fun. Best WEEKEND ever.

I took so much media THAT I can't possibly upload it.

We are also kinda on a time limit since we are blogging in a rural north-east town called Souris on Prince Edward Island. We are on our way to go see where Road to Avenolea was filmed. Alison is sitting to the left of me and the two tourist booth workers are talking back and forth in their accents. Someone couldn't understand me today when I asked for coffee and wireless. They probably think we're american AND city girls

New Brunswick

We've made it to New Brunswick without any issues besides going through crazy Quebec!

My knowledge of the french language consists of anything I remember from grade 6.

We are currently just outside of Frederiction in a restaurant awaiting some late breakfast (we are jetlegged three hours ahead). Last night we slept in a sketchy truck stop parking lot. On our way here we stopped in Montreal for the afternoon. Pictures to follow when we're not sitting in a rural New Brunswick restaurant.

It is also Alison's 25th birthday today. We should be hitting Sackville in about three hours. So excited!
