Day 40 – Garbage day

Kaatje had a photo shoot today so Kaelyn and I had a slow morning and a day of exploring. I found a new mall about 5 blocks away called IAPM. On the walk, I found a gas station (there aren’t many around here) and noticed the price per litre, $1.42CAD When we arrived at the mall, it’s certainly the fanciest one we’ve seen yet. 2 level apple store....
