Canada

Vancouver, BC day 4,

I cant seem to waste enough time doing anything interesting downtown here...so I'm back. Again I'm goignt o pick Colleen up frpom work like yesterday. Last night we went and got some food at Safeway (hooray!) and i cooked us GREAT food..ofu a little on teh burnt side...but we scraped it off. Then we rented MOVES and i fianlly saw When Harry Met Sally - and it was good. Also i had to rent BIG, becasue I came across the EXACT SAME 'Zoltar' fortune telling guy in San Fransisco one day at Fisherman's Wharf like at teh begining of the movie..you know, when he wishes to be big?! -anyhoo, being the huge Tom Hanks fan i am....i will be watching THAT one soon. Tonight me and Colleen are going to the Anthropology Museum because its free tuesday nights! free is GOOD and im a huge dork...she's not QUITE as excited about the totem poles, but what can you do?
I figure as a conclusion to teh weel here i will spend alot of time just winding down and hanging at the house. This weekend we're gonna climg Grouse mountain 853 M high, 2.9 KM up hill to a good view of the city-should be fun!

The trip's been good all in all. Disapointing that i didnt make it to neither Portland nor Seattle, or go learn to surf or hanglide....next time perhaps. It has been a ride...al;l the horrible downs...and rare ups but VERY good.

It has also been the only trip in which I have second guessed whether I'd rather be at home or not, and I'm glad I want to be back. Having crossed the boarder, I feel halfway back already.
On to school-work!

Miss you all in Winnipeg see you very soon...and Mitch...can't wait to borrow a cup of sugar - neighbour!

Well well well,
I'm, slowly but surely inching my way out of the cave and into the 21st century - A BLOG FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
What does 'blog' even stand for? -doesnt matter right now..but someone should inform me.

So, I'm really struggling to get moved in and unpacked in time to be able to have fun on the long weekend comming up that includes a birthday extravaganza and a camping trip to Gimli and the Icelandic festival, and I'm hoping to have the place looking alright enough to have a short but sweet "hey this is my new place, see you in a month" party. -UGH! - so...on top of that it has recently been brought to my attention that I leave on this west coast adventure that I'm already committed to taking in a WEEK and a HALF! WTF?
I'm getting last minute what if's and oh no's and it's all rather exciting!!!! ahh how i love the anxiety that preceeds these things i get myself into. But unlike ever before i have no fall back..no safety net just $1000 US Dollars and the road between San Diego and Vancouver...ahhh...
