Horses of Iceland

Like any self-respecting visitors of Iceland, I took a boatload of pictures of the adorable Icelandic horses while I was there. I read so much before our visit about how friendly these horses were and how they would come to you and practically ask for a pet, so I wasn’t prepared for the harsh reality:…… Continue reading Horses of Iceland

Iceland Attractions: Must-See and Do in the South and East

A view of Jökulsárlón, the glacial lagoon.

After months of procrastination, I thought it was about time that I wrote something about my favourite Iceland attractions I came across on our first road trip around Iceland. I had been putting off writing it down, partly because I didn’t think my words could do justice to the experience, and partly because I hated…… Continue reading Iceland Attractions: Must-See and Do in the South and East

Things I Want to See and Do in Iceland, Part One

My favourite puffin in the whole iceland.

I was going to write about the Easter long weekend but it kind of sucked so let’s just talk about our upcoming trip to Iceland again, shall we? My father-in-law asked me this past weekend what I was looking forward to the most about the trip. My first answer was: being in Iceland! Second answer:…… Continue reading Things I Want to See and Do in Iceland, Part One

Iceland, Soon

An old, turf hut.

Because I was feeling blah (damn you, hormones!), I thought I’d watch some videos of Iceland to cheer myself up. Our trip there is only a month and a half away now. Yay! I installed a countdown app on my tablet last night. I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. Having the app…… Continue reading Iceland, Soon

The 2013 Annual Tundra Swan Trip

This past Saturday, we went for our annual trip to Aylmer to check out the migrating tundra swans that were re-fuelling (read: eat a lot of corn courtesy of the local conservation authority) before continuing their journey to their summer vacation spots up at the Arctic tundras. The weather wasn’t great that day. It was…… Continue reading The 2013 Annual Tundra Swan Trip

Lovely Saturday

It's too cold for diving and swimming anyway.

This past Saturday we decided against going on a thrifting round, which is what we usually do on a Saturday. When my husband asked what I felt like doing that day, I said, “Going to Goderich and get two dozen butter tarts!” and to which he said, “That’s what I’m thinking, too!” We are so…… Continue reading Lovely Saturday

The Ever-Changing Travel Plan

Remember when I said that we were going to Iceland and the Netherlands for my birthday in April next year? Well, that has changed. Except for the Iceland part. We’re still going to Iceland since we’re on a mission to find the Valley of Bjorks but we’ve decided against going in early April (which is…… Continue reading The Ever-Changing Travel Plan

Travelling is Expensive

So somebody dropped by yesterday and handed me a cheque with a nice number on it for a web design work. It was the cheque I was going to spend on a new lens for my DSLR and a plane ticket to the West Coast and back. It was kind of nice holding the cheque…… Continue reading Travelling is Expensive

Canadian Observations

These are the things about Canada that we found silly/funny/interesting during our trip out East: — Every province has their own moose and deer crossing signs. It was interesting to see the difference between the signs as we went from one province to another. No moose crossing signs in PEI, though. — I thought I…… Continue reading Canadian Observations
