Dearest Cory,

We saw this animal at the zoo. Weird animals make me think of you, so I took a picture and posted it here so you could see it.

I hope you enjoy it. Its called a spoon bill. We chased it down a path.

I have much to say, but not enough time to say it.

Bermuda is still awesome. I definitely feel like being here is normal again.
Its really fun seing people who haven't seen me since I was 12/13 and seeing how shocked they are at how 'big' I am now.

I'm all sunburnt and peely. I'm going to try and look for some badass shirts still, but nothing.

As well we're going to the aquarium today. It'll be fun.

We saw turtles.

ha ha ha.

The last couple of days have been nothing less than amazing.

I love it here so much, I feel like I never actually left. I've been hanging out with one of my best friends Freya, its been great! Thanks to the internet there hasn't been so much as catching up as just hanging out.

Yesterday the whole lot of us went out on Gene's boat. Adrian loved it. We went swimming off Channel's dock, the water is SO WARM. It's as warm as bath water, I kept thinking when I was going to jump off the boat or go down the water slide that it would be as cold and shocking as Durrance, but really it was perfect. I love the salt water and all the added buoyancy I get, I just have to stop moving and I instantly float. Swimming is so much less effort as well.

Adrian and I had a chance to snorkel around the dock. There really wasn't much, but it was fun to see how excited Adrian got when we saw just boring fish. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see some better stuff some time soon. Though on the boat ride back home we saw a bunch of turtles and even a spotted eagle ray (and regardless of my years of living here it was the first time I had seen one in the wild).

Today I was with Freya while Adrian went out to fish with all the men. It was nice, I had a girly day, I saw a bunch of people who I hadn't seen in ages. I got some food that I haven't had in ages and I bought my first legal bottle of alcohol. Being 18 here feels so much different than being 18 at home.

My friends keep talking about all these parties and their lives, I don't know a bunch of the people they talk about now, but apparently something is going to be held some time soon where everyone gets together, so maybe I'll get to see a bunch of people then and meet them, it'll be great.

I don't have much to say now, I think I've covered most of things, I'll post pictures when I think I have some that are worth posting (my camera batteries died today so I'm currently charging them).

oh hay daur.

We're in Bermuda. Its absolutely beautiful here, I forgot how lovely it was.

When we touched down at the airport I had to stop myself from giggling with glee at the fact that I was back. I love it here so much.

I saw my friend Freya already, she took us to a grocery store because I really wanted to go. Adrian saw the price of milk here (is not cheap).

I also had my 'first' drink last night, and by that I mean legally. Delicious Delicious Delicious, we're going to go buy some Bailey's and ice cream tomorrow, as well as take a mish into town.

We got duty free make-ups in Toronto Airport (which charges for their wireless).

We're staying in a pool house, its lovely, I'll post pictures eventually.
"EVERYTHING HAS AIR CONDITIONING" - Adrian
Well Adrian wants to go outside and poke lizzards, I want to keep typing. I guess I'll post more later.

oh hai dur

Adrian and I are currently in YVR. I'm excited, but this again feels so surreal. I feel like I'm just heading off to Baltimore.

There is a woman walking by, she has a polo shirt on and khakis and has her cream cardigan with its arms draped around her neck.

The sun went away, I don't really know when, but the silhouetted mountains are beautiful.

Adrian and I have to wake up some sleeping lady (with a vinyl leopard print coat), Adrian just made me very afraid of waking her up. I assume she will make a face some what like this:

only with her eyes wider open and pointier teeth.
oh hai there.

If you were to take a look at QLP you would see that the colours have changed. I decided that the blog needed a summer make over and here it is. They're (in my opinion) very Bermuda colours.

I'm going back 'home' tomorrow, well I start off at least. Back to THE MOTHER LAND or I guess I could call it THE OLD COUNTRY (even though it is not technically a country). We shall see how the ghosts of my past materialize.

I will keep QLP and its readers updated during this trip (internet permitting).

I may have to update the colours as well as I get my own pictures up and the colours are not from a composite of memory and crappy google image search results.
