10 days til Christmas? Oh my!

Well, apparently I have been quite lax at updating my blog over the past four months.
In a nutshell, this is what I have been getting up to...

Early in October, I discovered a fantastic climbing gym over the bridge on the Quebec side and I have gotten back into my addiction. It started with a twice a week thing, then it quickly became a thrice a week thing, and now I seem to find myself there at least 4 times a week. One thing is for sure, I am getting better at climbing!

In November there were a couple of stand-out moments during the time that my sister was in town: on Remembrance Day, we caught the Canucks vs Senators game here in town and the Canucks had a big win that night. Additionally, the next day, we decided to rent a car and drive to Montreal for the day. In our true fashion, we had just left Ottawa behind and saw the signs for Montreal and Quebec City so I turned to Y and said "want to pass Montreal and just go to Quebec City instead?", and so we did. It was a long day of driving but definitely fun times. Stopped in to Trois-Rivieres and wandered around town to take some photos and grab some lunch. Then we made it in to Quebec City for sunset and some strolling around Vieux Quebec, an absolute beauty!

I am now just finishing up my co-op term with Agriculture Canada and I have accepted an additional term within the same division but with a different supervisor. This next term I will be focusing on writing reports based more on social analyses than economic ones and I will attempt to explain various consumer trends based on behaviour. One of the benefits of this posting is that I will also be able to incorporate my photography which is a fantastic opportunity to have some of my writing and my photography published together.

In just a few days I will be on a plane once again but this time en route to the West Coast for some family and friends time.

Happy holidays to all!
