Picture Descriptions for 36

Katimavik - Part 36 begin with our costumes that we bought at the Salvation Army Thrift Store for our final presentation. They were chosen on the basis of wacky and cheap (Wednesday Happy Hour is half off), and a budget of about $7 per costume. Some people bought shoes themselves, but everything else is in the budget. I must say that a beige cord suit is not to bad on me. The suit became my playoff suit, which I wore for every game of the Oilers vs. Sharks series that the Oilers won. We spent a lot of time hanging out at Niakwa Pizza and watching the games. Then we had an excursion to Gimli and Lake Winnipeg, where I got a stunning shot of two cool dudes and an awesome lake. There was this cool spitting frog fountain and of course, we had to do the fake peeing shot. Followed shortly thereafter with the real deal. I loved the blue in one of the paintings we saw hence the photo. We then went and checked out a Viking Statue to commemorate the founding of the town, and yes, because it was big I tried to climb it. We then toured a museum of the Icelandic history and took lots of crazy pictures of each other while waiting for our Project Leader to finish. We ended in Gimli by going to the beach and our PL gave us all finger puppets indicative of the animal we most resembled. I got a lion for my crazy mane. Then we did a group shot before we headed off to Narcisse to see the snake dens. Once we had toured the snake dens, which were near the end of their season, we had dinner and played a French version of twenty questions. When we got home, some of us went out to SNAC for a fire. The pictures with the big flames are the combustion of a Christmas Tree and three waxed cardboard boxes. And yes, some of those flames reached 12-14 feet high. I learned why a Christmas tree is such a fire hazard after watching that one burn.

The next picture post will probably be in Picton, after next Wednesday.

Main Man, Out.
