We got up early this morning (5:45 for me) to pack last minute things and get to morning prayer. After some encouraging words from the program coordinator, we were off. We walked up the 16th street parking structure to our van, and luckily against my initial belief, the vans were not in fact creeper vans, they were brand new rented mini-vans... Aka livin' the high life yo. Wow it was super nice. We set off and stop a few times for gas and food (I got a cool Minni...

They have free concerts every Monday at noon, so we hit that up and it ended up being very good! The band was a mix between folk and jazz and they were on their game! Afterwards we went to a poutinerie and got traditional poutine- fries with cheese crumbles and a s...

We drank our warm tr...

We woke up at 9am for our last full day of camping. We cooked a large breakfast of cheesy hash browns and bacon, and topped it off with s'mores. We all got henna tattoos and changed into our swimsuits and headed down for the beach and a parade that was taking place there. We ended up not going to the parade and instead chilling at a dock, although we could hear it from our dock. We played around with Sara's underwater camera, even though the water was so cold and...
