Today was a fairly busy day at work. We had a lot to do and it took a while to get the cabins they close for winter all up to standard for the new season! The weather was lovely today too, which made things more pleasant. It's fun driving the buggys about, catching the amazing backdrops of the mountains.
After work we headed to Hinton to do a grocery shop as we ran out of milk. So I drove us there - and we decided we ought to sign up for a Safeway clubcard seeing as it'll save us lots (we should have signed up sooner really - as could've made lots of savings in Vancouver too!) Oh well, better late than never hey. We got some funny looking peperoni like sausages to try - so far I haven't liked the sausages here. They're far too salty and have an odd flavour. And we've bought our first block of cheese. Decided to go for what we know as most of the other cheeses look edam-like or plasticy! Not only that but cheese is very expensive here.. over $5 for a small block. Jacob also spotted some limited edition Oreo cookies that were birthday cake flavour (probably in England too?), so thought we'd give them a try. They're not so great, but Jacob thinks so..
Our evenings so far have consisted of watching silly/cheesey American films that are on TV, watching the ice hockey as we've got into that since going! And enjoying the drives to shop for food! Just living a normal life out here as we would back home (so yeah, starting to settle in!) Yet with simply amazing scenery that you really can't beat. Can't wait for our days off so we have time to go for walks and venture out to see the mountains and lakes!
