... how much she hated bio! As it turns out, she aced the course and now proclaims biology to be interesting....all's well that end's well.













We arrived in Nanaimo around 10h00, got gas and a few grocery items, then hit the road for Bamfield via Port Alberni. It took us 90 minutes to traverse the gravelly, pot-holed, wash boarded, dusty, narrow-bridged, logging road at 50 or ...

... all of these destinations don't get the bra any closer to Vancouver! The polite people at JC Whitney have informed me that this is normal and that their location for international shipments is Livona, MI and that it will somehow travel from there to Vancouver. One e-mail and two telephone calls haven't produced any more useful information. A second problem is my attempt to get our boat out of the boat yard and ...

... it is sooooooo huge and yet packed into a tiny little stretch of land!! The building are quite phenomenal - built up so high that the wind gets trapped and the streets become wind tunnels. Considering it was getting down to -12^C, the icy wind rally chaps those cheeks!! But, Central Park I breathtakingly beautiful, and the Met is amazing with so much to see, Little Italy and Chinatown are just abuzz with life, the ...

... the West End (this time we parked the damn car) and walked around the tourist district. The streets there are lined with restaurants. We stopped, after much deliberation, at some little Greek place called Olympia or something cliche like that. For 12$ I got more food than I could possibly eat in one sitting. It was good too. Afterwards we shot down to Sunset beach to, well, watch the sunset. Then it was back to home base to prepare for the trip to the island.

... He told us about some furniture pieces featured in the home that were refurbished antiques. I didn't ask but I knew they were expensive. The tables were beautifully set and reminding us of another delicious breakfast to come. On the tables were miniature silver robbins that were salt and pepper shakers. On the plates, napkins were folded into broad fans with brightly colored napkin rings holding the ensemble together. J.J. handed us the keys to our ...

... friends in Canada. Oh, that bittersweet taste of love. We met Meg in Antigua and spent a few beautiful and full days with her. We ate, we talked, we drank, we talked, we shopped, we talked and we walked and talked. As a privileged participant and somewhat biased supporter of Meg, I can say that she is a wonderful and gifted human being with a huge heart and sharp mind. It is always a joy to spend time with her ...

... even if it was the only mushroom stuffing I have ever tasted in my life! hahaa! We had some bubbles and some wine and best of all a SHOWER!!! yay! We then decided to go out on the town and meet up with my lovely friend Chawki (pronounced Show-ee). He and I met back in my hometown years ago. He moved to Vancouver in 1998. I love and adore Chawki dearly and it was ...

... top of the world in discovering that. What can I say...the trip was more than I could have asked for. I'd like to thank all the people I met who gave me directions (even if they were wrong), the lovely people at the Body Shops who kept my hands moisturized for free, and the folks at guitar shops across Europe who put up with my playing! Ha ha This is adventure is over. See you y'all soon. Much Love, Jewels
