It was Kieren and Kaveta's turn to venture out to Cape Spear in their SUV this morning, so Lori and I tagged along to search for my wayward wallet once more. None of the park employees had seen it, and my second ground search proved just as fruitless as the first. I left Cape Spear frustrated and worried for the second time in 24 hours.
Once back in town, Keveta kindly took time away from their sightseeing to drive me around town in search of the police station to report my missing wallet. We recieved a few sets of bad directions, electronic and verbal, but eventually reached the provincial police station, where I reported that my wallet was AWOL and recieved a temporary ID I could use to board the plane tomorrow. While I was taking care of this, the others were at the grocery store, and Keveta bought us a light lunch, which we shared in the adjacent area. It wasnt a park, but it could be said to possess park-like qualities.
Kieren, Kaveta, and Kieren's sister wanted to go shopping at the mall, so Lori and I parted ways with them downtown, with many thanks and plans to meet up that night. We spent the afternoon perusing the specialty shops downtown, and taking care of some business. I went to the bank and got a new debit and visa, while Lori booked her flight off the island for the end of the month after the George Street festival. We also stopped for some fancy coffee at a local shop, and Lori interviewed me for her website on inspiration. It was pretty cool to be given the opportunity to add my voice to her project, and I look forward to checking out the site online. We had a pretty fun afternoon filled with levity, and we topped it off with a nice seafood meal at a pub on the way home.
Once back, we hung out with Matt for a while, happily talking away. We then took a stroll down to a few establishments on George Street to survey and evaluate their services. Matt was generous enough to even buy us a few beverages while we worked. We stayed out for quite a while, and had many more great conversations, before getting some street pizza and heading back to get a few hours sleep before tomorrow's flight to Halifax.
