On my way....

So the last couple of weeks have been very interesting for me and i've definately been learning heaps about life. But right now i am sitting in the Green Tortoise Hostel in Seattle. This morning we (Jeff, Jarni, Ben, Matt and Alice-all friends from the mountain) left from Golden, BC and drove straight to Seattle, USA. The trip consisted of dodgy border immigration agents (the usa dudes are mean!), one speeding fine (jeff's was 20kms over), getting lost in Seattle city while running out of gas and then being told that our hostel had been demolished only to find it down the street later that arvo! So the first day has been pretty interesting. Stay tuned for more details on my adventures!

Last week i also went to my uncle and aunty's ranch in Ashcroft, BC. I hired a car and drove down there which was awesome, love driving- especially with the country music blaring! Went riding for three days which was good and a little painful at the same time. I hadn't been on a horse since november! Allegies played up a little but and i have a cold now but still had a wicked time. Jesse also came down with me, he didn't drive down with me but he caught the bus and got in at 2.15am so i picked him up from Kamloops. It was really good to see him again, we are still talking about lots and i'm definately going to miss him on this trip of mine to the states and back home again but when i get back to Canada for summer i hope to see a lot more of him. My aunty and uncle really liked him aswell, he got on with my aunty like a house on fire, so funny! I think he really enjoyed the horse riding and ranch too!

I was really happy to read your blog jess... I was wondering how you were going. I actually read the Sundance ranch website yesterday - and was very impressed by the layout, info etc...must go there again one day...maybe next year if dad is ok. I am here in NZ with Kirstin - it has been a very hard thing for her to go through.. i know she is still crying when she thinks I don't know it... she probably thinks it upsets me to see her upset - which it does but I would rather cry with her than her cry alone !!! Glad that you and Jesse had some more time together to chat about stuff...sounds like it was good all round? I am a tad jealous that Greg and Cynthia have met Jesse already but good to know they gave him the thumbs up !!! They have good taste !! lol .... anyway, have a good safe trip.... be gentle as a dove but wise as a serpent... Mum's wise words for today....xoxoxo

I see you delete my comment. I don't know why but it wasn't meant to be mean just my thoughts about the border people.
