The countdown is coming......
It is almost the end 9of Katimavik. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Mostly a good thing. One can only trot around the counrty for so long before wanting to come back to home base and recharge!
I survived tent camping. (Yes, survived is the apropriate word!) We had tents. That was it. I like tent camping with Steph and Faith better......
Eco du fete was fun. This was an enviromental festival held by Trio Pistols. Green Peace was there! If Stephs mom read my blog (she probably doesn`t anymore) she wound ask if I learned anything. And I would be proud to say that I did. Quebecers (and Ontario citizens) do not pay for their water. Drinking, showering and otherwise. They just pay extra on thier municipal tax instead. The idea of a water bill was forgien to them. I learned this because the water conservation booth asked me if I would agree that we should pay for water like we do electricity. My answer. `Don`t we already????`Apparently not in Quebec. There. If nothing else I leaned a bit about the tax system in Quebec!
As of today it will be 23 more days until I return to Saskatoon. The countdown is coming. (Cue the Jaws Theme music!)
PS I will be camping every weekend until I come back. Lucky me!
