It's time to start posting pics from another trip!
As with my New York pictures, this album is for me. I'm going to post the higher-quality shots, of course, but I'm also going to post the little bits and pieces that will help to jog my memory in the future, like this shot.
Here we have a fascinating shot of the 401 passing through Hoople Creek, which I'd never heard of until today, just west of Cornwall. Let's backtrack a bit.
In early April of 2015, Ally and I were almost finished our Social Service Worker program, and were talking about making a trip to the East Coast, where I grew up. I hadn't been to Newfoundland in 8 years, and hadn't been to my grandmother's cottage in Nova Scotia for 5 years...and Ally had never been to either. We talked about flying down in June and renting a car, since I was still driving my old Honda, and I didn't trust it to make such a long journey without falling apart. At some point my mom suggested we just carpool with her, since she was making the drive to St. John's in July anyway...so we did.
As with my New York and Montreal trips, I typed a trip journal on my phone, which I recommend to anyone who takes a while to post pictures after coming back from a trip. Of course, the journal itself will never see the light of day because the content is not for general audiences, but it helps me to remember details so I can better tell the story.
On the night before we left, we drove to my mom's house in Scarborough, and slept there. I got up at 5:55am, showered, ate breakfast with Ally and David, took a short video, and then got in Mom's car to leave. I set out to take videos throughout the trip, and I'm glad I did, because they added some humor and emotion.
