[Sheehan:]

So we just got back from our March Break dealio, and I'm guessing you'd like pictures. It went like this:

It was too cold to go sledding at Mactaquac Thursday, so we started looking for B&Bs.

We decided to go into St. Andrew's without plans. Ate at an inn, stayed at a hotel. A lot of stuff closed till Summer.

Drove through St. Stephen's on Friday, stopping to tour the Ganong Chocolate Factory.

Drove into Maine at Calais (pronounced 'callous'), then down into Eastport.

Eastport was boring, so we turned around, ate at Calais, went back into Canada, and stayed the night at a B&B in St. John.

This morning, after hitting up the St. John market (tres cool), we went home.

I've realized two things about this place:
1. We'll have a lot more to do in the Summer when everything opens, and you can go outside.
2. This province is EMPTY. Everything's on the coast. Look at this map. The interior is deserted.

Dad and I are going to see 300 tonight. I've heard lot's of action, not so epic, but that's OK with me.

'Til next time.

The Persians are already, how you say, up in arms about this.

It reminds me of the clammering from the Visigoth community upon the release of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Or did I just dream that?

No, you're right, they got pretty angry. Lot's of raping and pillaging, as I remember it.
I have a Persian kid in one of my classes, and he thinks it's hilarious how ticked off people get.
