Ride Along with Commercial Vehicle Enforcement
by Bertha on 26. Jun, 2009 in Canada 2006
I went yesterday on a ride along with the Alberta comercial vehicle enforcement officers out in Stony Plain. It was really interesting to see what vehicle enforcement is all about. Commercial vehicles have additional rules and regulations above that of passenger vehicles and the officers check vehicles to ensure they are complying to regulations. The main job out west […]
Edmonton Dragon Boat Racing
by Bertha on 15. Jun, 2009 in Canada 2006
I’ve joined dragon boat racing this year as a way to work out my upper body. Turns out it works your entire body, including your legs! I’ve felt my lower back muscles complaining but not my legs, yet. Since I’ve not done too much canoeing I think I’m actually doing really well at picking up […]
Sarah Slean
by Bertha on 03. Jun, 2009 in Canada 2006
Saw her in concert last night and had a wonderful time. I’d never really heard of her before but I love her now. She plays what everyone in my group is calling “piano music”. Sarah is very interactive with the audience and takes herself lightly as she jokes with the crowd. You can tell she […]

My last few days before flying home had me helping out at the MacMedic store by refining their current marketing campaign and going on a little road trip of the coastline south of Sydney with Adrian. I think if you click on the link you’ll be able to see the birthday promotion that I helped […]

Kakadu and Katherine
by Bertha on 18. May, 2009 in Australia 2009
My 3 day tour of the 2 parks in the Northern Territory was great. The beginning of the dry season and the tourists haven’t all arrived yet so the parks were not crowded. Even my tour was only 10 people so it was very intimate. My guide was very good at giving tons of information […]

Aldinga Eco Village
by Bertha on 13. May, 2009 in Australia 2009
I spent last night with Kev, Lu and Rora at their eco village. They are 140 units in this village and they are building a home using straw bales and everything recycled. It’s pretty cool. The village has a community pizza oven, metal/woodworking shop and an outdoor movie theatre. Had a great time getting to […]

We had many people over including Alicia (Eddie’s gf), Uncle Jimmy, Benton, Neda & Phil with their new baby Indiana! Auntie Katy spent a lot of time making plenty of food! Everything […]
