Around the world on Labour Day weekend
This weekend intrepidrayne and I took a whirlwind tour around the world.
It's incredible that we managed to cover so much distance, really. It's almost unbelievable, even.
There are pictures in this post from all over the world, so it's going behind a cut.
We started our trip in our area by visiting the small town of St Andrews. It's right by the ocean and we both like it quite a bit.
Next we headed southwest toward Bangor to see what was shaking over there. Not much was shaking.
After seeing how boring Bangor was, we decided to check out a bigger city: Brooklyn.
Brooklyn was cool because we met the Beastie Boys and I wrote a song for them. You will hear it on their next album. If you listen to it. If you don't, you won't.
Even though the three MCs and us MCs hit it off, we needed to be on our way. Next stop, Toronto.
We couldn't leave T.O. without the full experience, so I got shot. Now that's tourism.
The time had come for us to head to a more peaceful area. We had a cravin for the Pacific, so Mel got behind the wheel and bent space and time with her super-driving skillz.
Once we crossed the country, we decided to hit up Victoria, BC, and all its oceany goodness.
Since we were close anyway, we then headed north to Alaska to see pretty white things.
Oops. Man, Alaska was friggin cold. We thought we could warm ourselves by heading down under.
Apparently that wasn't the best plan, as it is winter there and the temperatures were in the single digits. We then decided that we couldn't go wrong with the Caymans again. We headed back to Georgetown.
It was nice and warm, but once again it drained our budget and left us penniless. :(
I'm not one to focus on the bad, so I busted out my hackysack and did some killer Hackmatack action to busk for change from the rich folk.
It didn't work at all, but I saw something shiny and forgot my woes.
Look, it's right down there, I just have to climb down HEEeeeeeeeeeeeerre.
Oops, I fell into the ocean. Fortunately I was rescued by a beautiful mermaid who taught me the secrets of the universe.
After learning her mysterious ways, I returned to land and put them to use. Upward, I traveled.
I might not have totally understood everything she said, because I managed to ascend, but it wasn't exactly as planned.
This is where my tale ends, as I am now enormous and it is very difficult to type on your puny human keyboards. I hope you liked my story.
So, what did you do on the long weekend?
