Being away

…finding different magic

Last night my partner and I got into Moncton.

Today we made a weird decision to just follow our whims.

First we went to Magnetic Hill. We paid ten dollars and I left the experience feeling nauseated.

Not the hill’s fault. Definitely a result of my different brain trying to sort the optical illusion in real time.

Then we went to a very touristy spot called Wharf Village. It was quiet. I liked the ducks.

I asked if maybe we could go walk around the zoo…knowing I needed a walk to re-ground myself.

What ensued was the most bizarre series of zoo moments I’ve ever experienced.

I needed 7 carrots to sort my day. It was that magical.

I’m going to post the videos of the significant moments.

(The gibbons singing)

(The surprising ostrich)

(The camel who was sleeping hundreds of feet away, until he wasn’t)

(Lemur eyes are intense)

I am a quiet visitor to the zoo. I’m there not trying to attract the attention of the creatures. But they felt me. And it was wild.)

And then we met Google.

All he wanted was to make a connection. So I sat with him awhile.

I miss him still.

Also one cute picture of my love.

We have three more days of adventure and I’m so enjoying just spending time with them.

Oh! And the tiny if slight unfinished book for today.

Tiny book #156
