Anyway, I'm loving it. The scenery is beautiful, the people are so friendly, the freedom is great. I'm so relaxed now and have had lots of time to think aabout the future and stuff without a cluttered mind.
At night, there are always birdies singing, and it is so quiet... it is amazing. It gets a little chilly some days (near 0), but we are usually ok inside our sleeping bags. I had a cold for a while but it is gone now.
I was so happy to see the Irving gas station. I stayed there for an hour, and made all these friends... a cute girl, some hippy's from BC who had driven their volkwagen van to Gutemala, and a few others. When I left, everybody was waving and honking, and the girl came out to say bye. That was encouraging.
I almost got put in prison in Trenton. I met a group of old ladies in the Tim Hortons, who asked me where I was going. I started chatting, and told them I was going to camp across the street in a park. They thought it was too cold, and one lady insisted I go to the prison and ask to stay there for the night. She knew the dispatcher and the mayor, so she started calling right away and told me to go down the street to the police office. I went, but they said they may have needed the beds for drunks during the night, so the gave me directions to a campground instead.
Its lovely here, but everything is red... the soil, the farmers fields, the beaches, the dirt roads. Its wierd. The people are amazing.
In the first two hours I was here, two locals asked me for directions, which was kind of wierd considering the island is so small. But the first guy, he was like this stubby, skinny little like 40 year old with a wierd accent, and a hat that said "Dad". So after I helped him, he was like "you wan wanna these here magazines?" I thought he was going to give me a tourist guide, but he whipped out a hard core porn mag. He's like "Its got lots of nice pictures." I politely declined. So he started flipping through... like "look at that". He was like "my friend gave it to me. You want it?" I was like, "nahh, I have the Internet", which made him lay off. So he was like "ok", and took off.
