Jeremy and I touched down safely in Vancouver on Monday night brimming with excitement and running on no sleep. After a couple flight delays for Jeremy, he finally landed a full 5 hours after me. While waiting, I got to enjoy various views of the Vancouver airport, sleep a few cat naps, almost finish my book, eat a shitty sandwich, and listen to almost my whole Ipod. Once he touched down we quickly got comfortable with our neighborhood and the Cassandra hotel just outside the city center.
We figured out, as we slurped down bowls of Pho, that neither of us had any idea about Vancouver. We'd spent so much time looking into the U.S. part of the route that we failed to really research the Canadian portion. Vancouver, as it happens, is a truly special and thriving Canadian hot spot and its been a blast to check out the city. I have my sights set to return here after my bank account heals from this trip (if it ever will. B.C. is expensive). Despite a rainy rainy forecast for the duration of our Canadian leg we're pumped none the less to explore British Colombia. Coming here is a reminder of how much for granted we take our friendly neighbors to the north.
Tomorrow we head out for North Vancouver and Roberts Creek provincial park with an 80% chance of rain. Wish us luck!!
cheers,
David

Good Luck!!!
There's a perfectly good reason to take advantage of our "friendly neighbors to the north". The simple fact of the matter is that we are bigger and tougher than they are. If it weren't for that pansy James K. Polk, there'd be no Canada, let me tell you! Read a book, why don't ya!
