More Picture Descriptions

Wow, I realized that I posted the pictures of the fire-spinning workshop twice, in both Part 15 and 16 and nobody noticed.

Katimavik - Part 17 is pictures taken at the end of billeting: my room, my packed stuff, the photo I left the family, etc. The Saturday after billeting was rise and shine early to go spend the day in Saint John, NB. We went to Canada's oldest consecutively run market, took a walking tour of historic downtown, visited the Saint John museum, had dinner at Taco Pico's (a Mexican restaurant) and went to see a Sea Dogs boxing match...I mean...hockey game. When we got home we had very little time before we had 3 groups in the house, with some rotating out only to be replaced by another. In all there were 5 Katimavik groups in Fredricton that Saturday.

Katimavik - Part 18 is pictures from my work place in Fredericton, York Manor Nursing Home. One of the favourite games was crokinole, though we weren't using the nice board that day. Greek night was Greek food and togas, scrounged from whatever fabric you could find in the house. (Don't I look good with blue hair, wrapped in a sheer curtain!) Then there's some shaving going down, followed by orange night, where food and clothes were orange.

Katimavik - Part 19 starts with a trio of nuts going jogging in winter, then a great spaced out shot. Then the long process of dying hair began, with two of us bleaching then dying all or part of our heads blue, and one going darker. Don't ask about the pillow, you don't want to know.

Katimavik - Part 20 is our overnight excursion to Moncton, NB. The first bunch of snaps comes from the Crystal Palace, an indoor amusement park. The museum type pictures are from the Acadian Museum in the University of Moncton. We then headed out to Hopewell Rocks and had a ton of fun exploring and running around in the tide flats and caves. We then went to a biodiverse, organic farm and learned about self-sustaining, organic farming, and got to chill with the cool animals. The last shot is of my great-great-aunt Pearl and I, taken at her house in Fredericton.

Katimavik - Part 21 begins with a Valentines Day party at York Manor, then moves into beard and hair cutting, which is part of Katimavik's unofficial sport, body modification. With a beautiful segway, I'll keep with the theme and move into body modification of a different sort, restarting a heart. Then with yet another body segway, we finish with a beautiful picture display lots of body. Who knows I might publish the photo-edited version the next time I'm putting up pictures.
