Canadaaa!

Over spring break Emily, Ty, and Beth came all the way to Calais to visit me! We went to St. John, New Brunswick for the night. It was really fun. On our way over we got stopped by customs. The Canadian customs lady was really mean and she made us pull our car over and we got searched. We obviously didn't have anything we weren't supposed to, so we were all set. We got yelled at for taking pictures/video, but everything ended up being okay. We got a little lost finding our hotel, but once we found it we were all set. The outside of the hotel was really sketchy, but once we got in, it was really nice! We stayed at the Chipman Hill Suites right in the city! Here are some pics.

Once we got our stuff unpacked, we went out to find a restaurant. Because it was Monday night and we didn't get to St. John until after 10, not many places were open. We found a Mexican restaurant that was open until 2am. It was really nice and wicked good. A band even started playing after we were there for a while.

The next morning we went to King's Square to get some food. We weren't really sure what was there but once we got there we were very surprised. It was this huge mall that seemed to go on forever and ever. There was even a marketplace with tons of food. We ended up getting sandwiches at this place, they were really good.

Canada was really fun and I'm so glad that my friends came to visit me! I definitely would recommend taking a trip to St. John sometime. There's lots to do and we decided that it was a really nice, clean city.
