Here I Go Again> Churchill 2012

Image
Sunday June 10 th 2012 I arrived once again in Churchill Manitoba. But this time I knew it was going to be a different experience due to a few things that were said and done close to the end of time here last year between a certain individual and I, however the point of this blog is not to dwell on the fact that it happened instead rather the point of this blog is for me to be able to share my adventures with those whom care to check it out. Not to mention it is way easier than writing in a journal J So as I said I arrived on June 10 th and right away was welcomed with a warm reception. I am once again working for Sea North Tours however this time the company is under new ownership as Mike and Doreen Macri sold the company at the beginning of this year.

Now I knew I had met them all before this letter after all of my final marks were posted, and after constantly checking my program planning guide I knew I was going to Grad. However, there is just something about receiving an official letter in the mail with the Dean’s messy chicken scratch signature at the bottom on the letter. “You are educated.

It was a beautiful (for January) +11 day in Lethbridge with a bit of a breeze, when three of my friends and I set out for our adventure.   I had suggested Saturday afternoon that since school was starting on Monday, that we go to Writing on Stone Provincial park which is located about 100km SE of Lethbridge. So just after 8am, my friends Eric, Sean, Sam, and I all headed out. http://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=Lethbridge,+AB&daddr=Writing-On-Stone+Provincial+Park,+HIGHWAY+501+%26+HIGHWAY+500,+Milk+River,+Alberta&hl=en&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=25.669235,66.708984&geocode=FTJD9gIdkCtG-SkjzVrxSoZuUzGuvpVi43hcHA%3BFVGd7AIdqYZY-SHDdPS54IlPhQ&oq=writing&vpsrc=6&mra=ls&t=m&z=9 Or first stop was at the visitor centre for Milk River. It was there we saw a dinosaur, now I am no Palaeontologist, but to me the thing looked like a T-Rex.   Anyways we took a few pictures and also climbed on the concrete hoodoos that they have at the vaster cent...
