Wells

Well, I made the drive to Quesnel successfully, stayed over night with a very nice retired priest (who is the one who organized everything for me) and then yesterday I drove to Wells. This is a small town. Like, 2o0 people in the winter small (500 in the summer). No cell reception small. My apartment is not small - it's a good sized one bedroom, with a very nice kitchen. It's kind of run down, peeling paint and that sort of thing, but the people who are the managers are nice and helpful. When I got here there was no bed, but they had come and sorted that out by the early evening.

I went out to Barkerville yesterday. My church is really neat, and I can't wait to start holding services (I start on Monday). There is a little musuem attached, and they have cut away the inside of the walls, so that you can see that it is lined with newspaper for insulation. I had a good time reading all the old political cartoons. There's also an antique vaccum, which I don't understand.

Lots of snow on the ground here- more than a foot in some places, and it snowed yesterday and today. So no more complaining Mom, it's worse here!
