(really loving our snowshoes)
soo, we decided to take a little overnight trip to Grand Falls, which is about an hour from Gander. the main reason is that they have a movie theatre, and we were itching to see this movie, with all it's awards and good reviews. when we got there, we realized that i had read the schedule wrong, and actually this movie was playing, which looked truly terrible. we opted to watch bad reality tv instead.
if i'm honest, there really isn't much to do in Grand Falls. we asked the cabbie where was a good place to eat. he asked us if we like expensive, mcdonalds, or chinese. those were our three options. we chose expensive, but that restaurant happened to be closed, so he took us to chinese. i am not a buffet fan, but it seemed like the cool thing to do. i don't know what goes into that chinese food, but i was loving it. pineapple chicken? amazing
some cool things to do in Grand Falls in winter:
- snowshoe. there are lots of trails
- outdoor ice skating. we were sad we didn't bring our skates, because the little makeshift rink looked awesome
- play pool. we did this in a cute little bar
- get chinese food. might as well
nice post
ReplyDeleteI was never a fan of trekking poles before but since trying one lately, I was hooked. We were on a difficult terrain and just stopped for a while to rest. My buddy told me to use his trekking poles since we were going uphill and my gear was heavier than his. And just like that, my whole perspective on trekking poles changed. Wow, it really made a big difference in my balance and gait. Right now, I'm looking for my own trekking poles and so far, this site has great reviews on the top ones: http://myoutdoorslife.com/gear/camping-and-hiking/best-hiking-poles.html
