Calais? Pourquoi pas?

So! Sunday's exciting event? We (Me, Malika [USA], Adam [USA], Tanya [Ukraine], Ina [Ukraine], Licette [Mexico] ) took a day trip to the coast, a town called Calais, to sit our bums on the beach and chill all day. SOOOO much fun!

We left at 8ish in the morning to go, it takes an hour and a bit to get there, and arrived a little before 10. There's a really cute park and gardens near the train station so we checked them our and played in a playground. Oh! I also got a chocolate chip cookie that was way too good! We toured the town a bit, saw some historical monuments. Calais is the port that links with Dover in Great Britain so it was a strategic war town and has a lot of history. Did you know it was liberated by Canada in WW2? Ok, enough with the trivia...

Down to what's REALLY important.. the beach! White, smooth sand and blue COLD water... we got greasy french fries and ate lunch, then walked down by the water. Basically we just listened to music and hung out for hours. Perfect for a Sunday. We got the (brilliant? haha) idea to write a message and put it in a bottle - we are so original! But we did it in four languages, English, French, Spanish, and Russian. We felt a little stupid throwing it off the pier but oh well! It was a little cold and windy but the sun made up for it. After eating some ice cream (I got pear and coconut) we headed home at 7:30ish. I met a couple from Calgary on the train.. weird hey? Actually I recognized that they were Canadian because the girl was wearing lululemon's. Old habits die hard I guess!

I took a lot of photos but my internet isn't working at the moment so I will post them ASAP. Heard that Edmonton has snow again...
