I woke up feeling refreshed. Jason and his mother Sonya had gotten up and greeted me in the living room. We noticed Jason’s cat had stranded itself on a shed and as he was helping it down the poor guy got a claw to the face, so much for the feline appreciating a helping hand! The three of us found ourselves getting hungry so we set off to a local all you can eat sushi restaurant. The meal was nice but I’d had better, I’ve become a bit of a sushi snob living in Vancouver as there seems to be an endless supply of competing restaurants that I frequent far more often than my wallet desires.
As we rolled out of the restaurant and back to the car we decided we’d relax for a bit, letting the heat of the day subside before going for a hike.
Having rested up we set off to Duchesnay Falls. A dirt path guided us in, taking us along side a cascading river that gradually worked itself down the hills.
We slowly worked our way onward as we continued down the path, often taking plenty of stops to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding us.
Having reached the end of our hike we turned back, returning to the car once more. A short drive took us to a school both Jason and Sonya had gone to in the past. Geese flocked around a nearby pond we had stopped at as wild flowers grew along the waters edge. We took some time taking pictures before heading back to the house where we spent the rest of the evening sharing in great conversations, a wonderful way to finish off the day.
