Yeah...I've been here for a month...dog-sitting!
I'm at a friend's cottage on the lake, enjoying life. I'm in Jemseg, which is 45 minutes from the capital of Fredericton. Not only am I with an amazing dog, I am in a beautiful province with a lively downtown. Last week, I picked a friend up in Maine and we traveled to Prince Edward Island and Halifax, Nova Scotia. PEI was amazing with red clay beaches and thousands of acres of green gables. While in Halifax, we made friends with a group from Quebec, canoed, and danced around our campfire. We had a very short trip, but still managed an hours drive in the port area.
Yesterday, I took a trip into Fredericton for the Cultural Expressions Festival. The day was filled with a rainbow of ethnicities, food, arts, music, and dancing. I came back with a henna tattoo on my arm and one tired dog. Also in Fredericton, I've been to local concerts, local shopping, and even a Pow Wow sponsored by the local tribe of St. Mary's.
I'll be here just 11 more days and will have another visitor starting on Tuesday! Lots of fun ahead of me still, and lots of work behind me.
While here, I have also worked on a chapter I am writing for a new Woodhead Publishing book, New Product Development in Textiles: Innovation and Production. I'll be sure to post when this book is released!
I must go enjoy the beautiful weather! I'll upload pictures once I'm home with a stronger internet connection.
