Canada D(eh)!

Geoff and I decided to celebrate Canada Day by having a multicultural day out...we began with breakfast at a Canadian diner run by a Greek-Canadian family, followed by coffee at an Italian deli across the street. We then went down to the town of Steveston which is historically significant as a hub for Japanese-Canadian fishermen. We then wandered around VanDusen botanical gardens which has plant species from around the world, and ended our day with dinner at Saravanaa Bhavan, a South-Indian restaurant. T and G


A Small Taste of South America

Hi everyone,

I was between contracts and had too much time on my hands...so what was I to do? Cash in some airmiles and head to Argentina of course. I took a short two week jaunt thinking I would stay in and around Buenos Aires. I ended up visiting Uruguay, Argentinean wine country, and Santiago de Chile. I loved everything I saw, was inspired by the bus trip through the Andes, and really have to thank my hosts Pedro in BsAs and Felipe in Santiago for all of their hospitality...I will be back! T
