Canadian Showers

Let me tell you about showers. We take them for granted. Every morning when you wake up you simply walk into the shower, turn on the hot water and away you go. For some reason, I am constantly running into problems with the showers on the road. Nobody else ever has a problem. Just me. So this morning I came into the bathroom, expecting a nice warm shower, which is what I ...didn't get. I turned the handle and out came scalding hot water, so, I reached for the cold tap and nothing happened. I had to turn off that shower and make my way to another one.

So, shower number two.

I turn it on, adjust the temperature, and begin the whole process. I don't know if somebody flushed a toilet or something...but the water burned my back! I frantically reached for the cold water, which turned out to be...ice ice cold, and caused me to stand there shivering...and I began to cry. 'Why me?!" Standing there with shampoo in my hair, and ice cold water spraying out of the crooked tap, I didn't know what to do. So, I started again. I turned off both taps...and then turned them on again. Finally the temperature was perfect. Other than the water spraying like a jet stream on to me, and having to run around to get wet, plus watching a GIANT spider crawling around above my bag...I had a great shower.

I don't know what it is....but this shower curse seems to follow me around wherever I go.
I can't wait to get back to my own at home.

The remaining days of the tour are flying by. I can't believe where we are! Only a couple weeks left and we are homeward bound. Tim is still totally dedicated and driven, and getting really excited to reach his goal. We have been meeting so many people in this area of Canada, mostly in Tim Hortons, and having alot of fun in New Brunswick. I got to meet lots of Tim's family so far, they are all so great! :)

Well, Sudoku is calling my name....its time to conquer yet another puzzle.

See you soon!
