My "Protege" Emergeth

My latest adventure did not take place in a wild environment or alpine meadow. It happened in Calgary, my home town. I bought a car. A 2003 Mazda Protege 5. The steed that will deliver me to the mountains and the adventures inherent within.


I have my "Rocinante." Now it just needs a name of its own.
I had never undertaken an adventure such as this so I got help from my Mom and Dad. I found the cars and they went with me to look at them, helped me ask the right questions and made sure i got a very nice car. So I thank them wholeheartedly, I could not have done anything without them. Thank you Mom and Dad.





In Don Quixote, "Cervantes skirts the issue of Rocinante’s aesthetic worth by stating that Rocinante was a rocin, a work horse, rather than some noble steed." Similar to Cervantes fictional Rocinante, my new vehicle is not a flashy car or a speed demon. It is a car that will take me on many adventures and be a true and solid car. I do not need it to be flashy, I need it to provide me with the freedom to escape the city, hold me when I sleep at the trail head and take me across the continent from race to race. 

I have to support my favourite Canmore pub. This sticker is on the back of my car.
I found my "Rocinante" and it will carry me to many adventures in the future.
