Back in Winnipeg this week, technically for a conference, but that ended two days ago and I'm here till the first of May. And come early June I'll be in Kenora for five months! It'll be great! I can come in for Bomber games!
So what have I been doing, you ask? Well... first of all, the ethnic food scene is pretty limited in Thunder Bay, unless of course you're looking for Finnish pancakes, so we've hit Ethiopian and Thai, with plans for sushi and maybe Indian this week. Plus, plans for Mantario (66 km of fun!) were solidified. Specifically, it was decided that we are indeed going and we do indeed want to eat while we're out there. And since we're going with Jason and Mel, campers extraordinaire, we will eat better on the trail than I normally do at home. Heck, we'll eat better than in a number of restaurants I can think of (Jeffery's on Henderson springs readily to mind). Did I mention the time we were on a canoe trip with Jason and Mel and had ice cream on the second night? It was quite possibly the finest moment in the history of humans living in tents. Sure beat that night, when the rain hit and a river wound up pouring right through Andrew Dixon's sleeping bag.
Everything I know about camping I learned from Jason and Mel. Particularly the bit about setting up one's tent away from the dry riverbed.
