A Couple of Days in Whistler
Visitors to Whistler need to bring five things – extra money, sturdy shoes, patience, a sense of adventure, and some more extra money. Workers at Whistler just need patience.
Lost in Galiano – Galiano Island Part 2
It takes commitment to get lost on Galiano Island. Many try, but few really succeed.
Off with the ferries – Galiano Island Part 1
I love ferries and reckon it would be great to have one at the bottom of the garden. Except, that’s not very likely when we live inland and far from any waterways.

Wait a minute – Canada
I’m standing all alone in an empty schoolyard, well, all alone except for a little dog. It’s cold. Where is everyone? Anyway, more about that later.
