Across the Harbour Bed and Breakfast Victoria

On July 2, 2003, the International Organizing Committee selected Vancouver to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. I listened to this to this announcement made in Prague on my Walkman walking through the streets of Vancouver. For me, it was one of those moments in life where I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news...

Today Jason and I leave the calm and relative normalcy of my parents' home in Port Angeles, Washington and begin making our way towards Buenos Aires, Argentina. We will be renting an apartment in Buenos Aires for a month before taking off to explore Argentina, Chile, and Peru until May 9.

Much has happened in the six weeks since we left...

My brain got caught in one of those horrible circular anomalies last night, kind of like that Star Trek NG episode where they're all doomed to relive the same period of time over and over again until Picard intervenes to save the day.

I was half falling asleep when my mind became fixated on some really stupid detail which went round an...

An diesem Morgen erstmal lecker Kaffee und Scone bei Starbucks, dann gemuetlich zum Hafen runter von wo aus das Whale Watching gestartet ist. Der Himmel war erst noch ziemlich bedeckt, aber zum Glueck ist es aufgeklart und wir hatten strahlend blauen Himmel wie auch die vergangenen Tage - man gewoehnt sich sehr schnell und sehr gern an diese Tat...

D** meist geho**te Satz des **sten Morgens ins Victoria: "I'm sorry guys, I'm so sorry"!!! Die Bedienung im Hotel ist beim Fruehstueck ein wenig durch den Wind - keine Ahnung, was die den Abend zuvor getrieben hat, jedenfalls kriegt sie nix auf die Reihe...

Victoria - Day 2 13th September 2008 Ryan and Courtney left around lunch time to head back to Vancouver to meet up with Mandy, Tim and Simon as they go on an Alaskan Cruise tomorrow. I was surprised that I felt pleased to have spent some time with them, as I didn't know Ryan and Courtney all that well in Banff and didn't spend much time with the...

Our Boat trip was boring. Our mums cousin Donna invited us to dinner at Bosten Pizza with her two daughters. We were going to be staying with a friend of Donna's, Ann, who was lending us her flat for a few days. Cassandra and Samantha walked their dog, Bailey down to the beach. We went down to fishermans Wharf where there were big fat seals swim...

First we want to thank you all for your comments of encouragement and support, on our blog and privately. It really does feel like we are walking with all of you, some physically and some in spirit. We couldn't be making this pilgrimage without the support of so many. Ruah is reading a book, Mary Called Magdelene, by Margaret George. Although th...

With just two weeks until I depart a lot of things are still unknown about the upcoming year. The one thing I do know is that this will be an adventure I'll never forget and one I'd regret missing if I hadn't jumped at the opportunity. My current game plan is to leave Canada for Auckland, New Zealand on November 8th and spend the next 8-10 month...
