... WILL NOT MISS THE PRE-HARVEST BBQ!! That&#8217;s where everyone gets to know each other and if I don&#8217;t go I&#8217;m just going to be &#8220;The Canadian&#8221;.. well I&#8217;ll probably be &#8220;The Canadian&#8221; anyway.. But I definitely don&#8217;t want to be that girl.<br> Just to get off topic for a minute.. I hate driving around BC with Ontario plates on my car. Whenever I make the slightest error on the road I feel like EVERYONE is looking at me going.. &#8220;stupid Ontarian ...

... this jungle space within a city. As we headed back to the hostel we got supplies from the supermarket. We got in our rooms and I met two of my room mates who are lovely, one from Austrailia and one from Ireland. There seems to be a lot of Austrailians in this hostel all here on 2 year work visas. It was great having a shower after nearly 4days!!! I was really tired so attempted to get an early night.

It has been yet another fantastically sunny weekend, perfect for the final session of my 6wk long sea kayaking course. Our day trip began at Barnet Marine Park at one end of a stretch of water known as Indian Arm. We were on the water at about 1030, an hour later than we had intended due to a marathon closing off the roads nearby. From here we paddled north along Indian Arm, past Deep ...

It was pretty close all the way though, but there were a few times that the canucks weren't playing really well and the crowd was getting a bit frustrated and booed them a bit. That was pretty disappointing, the home crowd booing their own team. In the end they ...

We're back in Coquitlam for one last night. We got back from Gibsons two days ago and spent a day running about getting Simon's passort, international driver's license and Hep B jabs. We also managed to swing by International Travel maps in Vancouver. That was an experience in itself. Imagine if you will a bookshop of average size, but filled with shelf upon shelf laden with every map and travel book ...

... little cold and too much chlorine for our liking so we didn't last long. Driving through BC we got a first hand look at the devastation the pine beetle is doing to the local forest. Most of the drive all you could see was the color of rust for miles and miles from the dead trees. Made it to the Vancouver area by early afternoon. Enjoyed the afternoon in White Rock walking up and down the waterfront and out on the pier ...

... it wasn't a complete waste of a walk. At the washington monument we took the lift to the top and got a great view of all the major points of washington - The White House - The Lincoln Memorial - The Jefferson Memorial - and Capitol Building. Met up with the rest of the group at the bottom and we all went to Georges house to get our pics of one of the most famous buildings in the world. everyone went their own way after that and me and alexa went for a walk to The ...
