hey remember us

hi guys

Yes i know I said I wouldn't leave it for ages for the next blog entry, but I received some bad news last week and wasn't really in the mood for writing. For those of you that don't know what happened email me and I will fill you in I don't want to put it on the blog and I have lost track of who I have told. God that sounds a little scary doesn't it for the record Scott and I are both fine didn't want you guys worrying.

On a happier note I had a weekend off yes both days which was the first time in like a month. We did the touristy thing on Saturday and took the Seabus over to North Vancouver, had lunch at Lonsdale Quay and then caught the bus (it was one mighty grunty bus) to Capilano Suspension bridge. I don't know about you guys but when I hear suspension bridge I think of the Golden gate bridge in San Francisco, not a rope/swing bridge (like in indiana jones but made of metal) which is what capilano is. Its the longest swing bridge in North America and man did it get a bit of a swing on once you were out in the middle, as there were quite a few people on it. On the other side of the canyon they had a little walkway with viewing decks out over the canyon, and a series of 7 little swing bridges that created a walkway through the tree tops about 30m off the ground. The trees are all hundred year old + Douglas fir pine trees they were absolutely huge, well height wise, there trunks weren't as big as the mighty kauri.

Scott has downloaded the photos on to his work laptop so I haven't got those right now but i will put them up ASAP. He just rang me he has had to take the bus home tonight so he won't be home for another hour yet. I am working both days this weekend, scotts work are playing paintball tomorrow (sat) then going to watch the All Blacks game in a pub, him and chris (the other kiwi) are going to introduce the others to rugby. They showed them some pictures of the All Blacks the other day and they were like all the front row don't have necks! monday is Thanksgiving (so yes another public holiday,) we are giving it a bit of kiwi flavour and having a roast instead of turkey, we are still going to have pumpkin pie for dessert though got to try that. It has gotten a lot colder here over the last couple of weeks we had an overnight low of 0 last night, I didn't expect it to get that cold so soon into Autumn or Fall as they say here. They actually have greeting cards for fall, thanksgiving and halloween here, Hallmark must be making a killing. We bought wool coats last weekend we might be using them sooner than we thought.

We have friends from germany arriving on tuesday so hopefully the next entry will be a little more exciting. i will try and keep on top of it again I promise. Keep up the comments

Catch you guys later.

love Monique and Scott
