Vaycay Day Two - I almost died
Posted by Candice on June 25, 2008 at 10:33 am
Waking up in Trinity was nice. I slept well. That morning Tom and I went for a walk along the old railway track in Trinity East. I really enjoyed it. The walk went through rocks, through trees, near a surprise waterfall and along the shoreline. It was quite comfortable. I like being by the water. It’s a safe and familiar feeling. I like the way the air feels and smells when you are by salt water. I saw some really awesome crab and sea urchin shells. You don’t see many of those in Pasadena. It’s weird, I still haven’t developed an attachment to that “place,” I felt far more at home in Trinity, and that’s the first time I’ve ever been there. I think it has to do with being by the water. I’m nervous about moving so far inland. Everyone keeps telling me that Toronto is right by a bunch of big lakes, but lakes are not the ocean.
As we headed back from our walk I almost died. I almost fell through a rotted bridge a zillion fee into the ocean. It was frightening. Tom laughed. If you are lucky he will post a picture to show you the trauma though.
After cleaning up from our walk we headed back to the restaurant for lunch. I had pea soup and stole some of Tom’s fries. It was wonderful. (btw- Tom would gain 50 pounds if I stopped “tasting” his snacks. I do it for his own good). Soon Amy gave us a wonderful tour of Trinity. She knew all the history and the gossip so it was fun. I love the old houses. It’s the same type of comforting feeling that comes from being near the water.
We left Trinity mid-afternoon and headed towards Grandma and Poppy’s cabin. The drive back out the the highway was nice and we finished our episode of Muggle cast. We stopped in Clarenville to stretch and pee. Vent- stopping in all these public bathrooms lately I am disgusted at the amount of people who don’t wash their hands, or consider sticking their hands under cold water with no soap for 2 seconds washing. Gross. I have a very high tech routine for public washroom hand washing and am actually creeped out by these people who watch me do this, and then smile as they run their hands under the cold water and leave. Eww.
Anyway, we made it to the cabin, which is surprising since I gave the directions from childhood memories. We got to pass by the big horse on the hill. Tom was a little creeped out. I was nostalgic. We got to the cabin by supper time and had a wonderful meal and chat with Grandma and Poppy before heading into town. It poured. Crazy hard straight down rain the whole way. Eventually we made it safely to Grandma and Poppy’s apartment where we are staying. Our cup of tea that night was well needed!
