Wow, is summer over already (only like a month late realizing this!). It's been awhile since I've been on here but I'm going to get in the habit of updating more, because who doesn't love to waste time on the internet!!
So many things to say about this summer, but from the bottom my heart, it has been life changing, incredibly inspiring and overall the best I've ever had. Let me mention all the experiences I got to take on this summer ( you will be shocked I managed to do all this). At the beginning of July I got to travel with a couple of friends to Wisconsin to See Dave Matthews Band at Alpine Valley. They played 2 shows which were fantastic. I also made new friends which of course is the highlight of that trip. Also before DMB I got to make a very long drive from Winnipeg down to Montreal (friend Vanessa and I), we went a little crazy and managed to go 15 hours straight the first day. Nothing like a little clam juice and vitamin water to help you out! I stayed with her and her bf Adam for the week. Montreal is gorgeous, I highly recommend making a trip sometime out there.
Now come folk fest ( did I mention I had 2 days to get ready for this) which is my christmas, birthday all in a matter of 5 days. What can I say about Folk fest, every year just keeps getting better and better. From my dear friends the Castle boys creating fantastic props and inspiring the 1000's of campers that are there, to the music that touches our hearts. My highlights were Oka, Delhi 2 Dublin, The Swell Season, Arrested Development. If you have not attended Winnipeg Folk Festival, it is a must do, you will leave with smiles and love in your hearts!
For my final adventure, Burning Man. WOW!!!!!!!!! This is Folk fest times a billion. Burning Man is a self expressive art, music festival held in Nevada desert. I have no idea how else to describe BM but I that's all I can come up with haha. I would suggest googling it as to BM itself is hard to label down. I drove down there with 6 friends (only one of them I new) 36 hour drive. 3 hours into the drive we broke our back window! But we made it safe and sound to the festival. I have never been in conditions like this in my life. Harsh winds, dust literally gets in everything you own, but for all the harsh conditions you go through, you hardly notice it because of the 50,000 participants that come and make your festival the best it can be. You live in a city for 9 days and by the last day, everything is gone, not a trace of any living thing! If you would like to, please visit the BM site and find out for yourself just how inspiring this festival can be!
Ok so enough rambling, enjoy the photos and please leave comments!!!!
