I haven’t been writing much of anything here lately.
Yes, that much is obvious.
But I have a good reason! Pants and I did a little summer traveling. No, we didn’t go anywhere very beachy or exotic, but it’s still nice to get away from the usual routine. We were in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia (where I hail from!) for just over a week. We drove there and back, and the weather was lovely. We took a short dip in the river near the Quebec/New Brunswick border and felt rejuvenated. We ate lots of fried things, which seems to be the norm when we visit NS. We spent lots of time at the shore, which helps see me through our landlocked existence here in Montreal. I love the shore. Watching the waves, I feel simultaneously calm and excited. It feels like going back to my childhood, but not in a way that’s nostalgic– I just gaze at it, and think “okay”.
We also spent five days in Kingston, Ontario, which is where Pants hails from. His mom cooks really well and his dad is currently vegan, so we were able to eat nice, healthy foods and clean all that fried stuff out of our systems. We also got to swim in a gorgeous lake, and took a daytrip to Ithaca, New York, to visit Pants’ sister, brother-in-law and beautiful new niece!
Gorge-ous in Ithaca!
