lucky new wheels

Matt had his first Geology Field Trip today. Their prof took them to a parking lot on a hillside and had to sketch the side of the cutting where the rock was exposed.

Sketching is not exactly his forte and he claims his looked more like a kindergarten sketch, but at least he resisted the urge to draw the individual teeth of a zipper or draw special doors for those going in, out and in or out like he used to do in his camping diaries.

During his break mid-day we went to pick up our newly bought 1994 Nissan Pathfinder. For $3,000, it's quite a bargain as we got it checked by a mechanic and he said it’s in very good shape for its age. Lovely and Lucky (888 plates!!) Check out the racing stripes. Just blending into the crowd here.
This evening we went to play Disc golf. Nanaimo has one of the best courses in Canada in Bowen Park, and it’s just up the road from us and free to the public.

It’s like golf but instead of hitting a ball you throw a Frisbee, avoiding trees along the fairways, and at the end ‘putt’ it into a basket. Check out: Wiki Disc Golf
