... I will NOT be going back to school in September! Crazy thought isn't it!

I thought I left the driving out west but I did a 1000+ km trip this weekend around Ontario/Quebec. Left Parry Sound on Friday and headed to Chelsea, QUE for an amazing training camp with the Premier National Women's Dragon Boat Team. Got there round dinner time on Friday evening and we went straight to the water. Huge thanks to the folks at Cascades for the use of their club and their wonderful dinner on Friday night!

Saturday we had some testing and two training sessions plus a nice paddle back to the club after having a full three course meal up river (I managed to score an OC1 for the paddle home).

Sunday we were up early again for another two training sessions before we were released to head home late in the afternoon. I was in no shape to make the 7ish hour drive back to Parry Sound so was quite happy when I was able to get ahold of my best friends in Ingleside. I had a great visit with them and headed out to Toronto this morning to get cracked by Dr. Garvey, my chiropractor. I really should have put him up as a sponsor earlier, he was actually my first sponsor and has been a huge supporter since I met him this winter and transfered to his practice. Check out his website to the side, also, check out his foundation, CCFC - Chiropractic Cancer Foundation for Children. Their "mission is to provide complimentary quality chiropractic care to children with cancer throughout the world" with the goal of "enriching the lives of children suffering from cancer by helping to ease their pain and nurture a process of self healing."

So much to do in the next day and a bit before I head to Hamburg. Train pass to pick up, pack locks to get, phone stuff to figure out, bills to pay, videos to finish, jobs to apply for, finding a place to live in the fall, not to mention figure out where I'm going in Europe and when I'm coming back!

A couple new videos are up on the videos page. Let me know if they aren't working properly please. Going to throw up a few more pics to the facebook album (you should be able to see the album even if you are not registered with facebook).

K, it's clearly time for bed since I can't think of stuff to write about at the moment even though I know there's tons of stories to share. Guess you'll just have to come back :)
