So, I dropped by the arena the other day. Had to make it all the way out to Warners Bay...two busses and a 20 minute walk later, I got to the arena where they weren't even going to let me on the ice! Luckily, they changed their mind but I forgot what it's like to skate on real ice again! My blades need a little sharpening but all in all, wasn't too shabby! The coaches gave me a nice warm welcome and invited me back anytime. One of the coaches used to skate in ice capades with my old coach! He even knew the one Aussie I skated with on Disney on Ice. I guess it's a small industry here…however, it gets weirder! I was given a number to call the manager of the building if I was interested in working with the Learn to Skate program, I definitely was so I gave the guy a call. Turns out he is from Port Alberni on Vancouver Island in B.C….just a couple hours north of where I originally am from! Such a small world.
PS: I finally took the brown off my skates so they're back to pearly white!

I think I know why skating isn't that popular here…this sign almost scared me away!
