Road Report

Montreal has come and gone, and we have just hit Halifax.

Montreal was busy. We got in Wednesday, and went to dinner at Oli’s sister’s. On Thursday, our old housemate Mike drove in from Ottawa (where he is now gainfully employed) and we spent they day with him. Friday was the wedding rehersal.

Saturday was the wedding. I think it was successful by all accounts. It was fancy. Also, schmancy.

The ceremony was in an beautiful and non-air-conditioned church. To give you an idea: my water-resistant watch now has condensation in the face. I was sweating more than “water resistant” could take. Oli spent the ceremony counting drops of sweat that ran down his back. The count was very high—apparently, the men in his family are sweaters.

I took some pictures. And by “some”, I mean I filled a 2GB flash card with more than 500 pictures. It will take some time to wade through, but I’ll try to get some highlights together soon. There are definitely some gems in there. (Ever seen François and Oli hula-hoop? You will.)

Our schedule is much less full now. Basically: go to place X; do whatever we feel like doing.

For now I’ll leave you with these: (follow the link for larger versions)

The happy couple The party

    I hope Oli wiped the sweat off his head before he pressed it against Tina’s face in that second picture.

    HA!! I love that. Seriously now those pictures are awesome. I’m so excited for less schmancy Halifax, disorganized as hell, but excited. I’ll see you guys soon!

    I believe I remember hearing Tina say something about the relative dampness of all the men she had to hug. I don’t remember it being favourable.
