I was like "ahhhhh whatever! let's risk hitch-hiking, this is New Zealand, very safe and lots of friendly people". It took 4 cars until someone stopped to pick me up. A nice couple in their 50s. Making conversation I ask where they're from. "Canada" Where in Canada? "Small town you've probably never heard of: Jasper" WHAAAAAAAAT??? I've spent summers up at Jasper (in the Canadian Rockies), my great-uncle had a cabin there by Lake Edith! (is now one of his sons). "Really? What's their name? I spent a lot of time when I was younger with the kids who summered at the Lake". I say "Foy". "No way!!! Patrick (my dad's cousin) and Shauna Foy are good friends of ours and we went hiking with them a few weeks ago before starting this trip!"<br /><br />Small world, eh? ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-23064947278380754372012-07-17T05:40:33.291-05:002012-07-17T05:40:33.291-05:00That would be quite the adventure...traveling with...That would be quite the adventure...traveling with "Cletus"! <br /><br />I've NEVER hitchhiked, and I never pick up hitchhikers.
