Labour Day
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Labour Day weekend doesn’t vary too much the world over,
although here marking a different season and intercepted with a “u.”
Seemingly for all….
Watching the forecast, anxious that it’s deserving of a long weekend.
Groans and protests when it isn’t.
Roadtrips mapped, accommodations booked, plans shared eagerly on Friday.
Alarm clocks silenced, computers shut down,
Expectation for 3 days impregnated with equal parts relaxation and fun.
For me…
Freedom of a rental car–“Rent a Dent” so endearingly reminiscent of my US “Rent a Wreck.”
Roadtrips mapped, and remapped, and written (since directions aren’t my strength).
Weather forecasts proved gloriously wrong as never-seen mountains make themselves seen.
Beach combing, inhaling green through the windshield, wind and a new sunburn,
All expectations are met.
Alarm clocks reset, computers booted up, events shared eagerly on Monday.
[P.S. Finally a few new pics on Flickr; sorry for the laziness.]
