In this post, my Old Hag research takes me to Conception Bay South and the Avalon Peninsula, with visits to Cupids, Brigus, and Cape Spear.
In this post, I talk about how my interaction with strangers provided me with some valuable lessons about intuition and trust, not only in regards to keeping myself safe, but also opening to new and wonderful experiences.
In this post, I talk about leaving behind Janine and Vancouver and heading east to Newfoundland, where I would spend two weeks researching The Old Hag, a local urban legend.
I was still dragging my feet as I started my second day in Victoria,. I could have easily spent the next week lying low and resting up in my student accommodation room at UVic, which my body would have thanked me for. But I had a city to explore.
On the Friday before the Victoria Day long weekend, Janine, Maddie, Kenzie and I packed up the car and made the four-hour drive to 100 Mile House, in the South Cariboo region of central British Columbia.
On our first full day in Banff National Park, Janine, Maddie and I explore the quaint township of Canmore, admire the beauty of Lake Minnewanka, and brave the hustle and bustle of busy downtown Banff.
