Good times, up here in Canada, eh?
In the last week I have seen so many good things. I got back to the little town called Alert Bay on the north end of Vancouver Island, a tiny village with only a few things going on. On the other had, I also spent an entire day exploring the city of Vancouver, which has a population of 2.2 million people. In typical Canada fashion, the city is clean and interesting, with the port being the main attraction. I really had no idea how big this city was, and how many goods move through it. The city is a “Sister City” to Seattle, but the port is WAY bigger, I believe this is because they are a net exporter of oil at this time. I’m not sure that I would be in a big hurry to come back to this city, just because I’m not a city boy, but it is definitely€ a better place to travel through than most US cities I’ve been through. In typical me fashion, I made it through this whole week with only a handful of pictures, and not one of Vancouver. We will be heading back to Alert Bay and I promise that I will get a couple of of it for you all to see.
So, I’ve been up here a week now and I’ve not heard one person with the “Strange Brew” Canadian accent. I’m a little saddened by this. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right place.
This week we really don’t have a whole lot of guests on the boat, 19, so I’ve kind of been given a good opportunity to do a little training for the new position. I’m getting a good view of the whole thing, and it’s not seeming so foreign any more. This has definitely been a blessing for me. I’m pretty ready to switch over now, but I’m still enjoying cooking. I won’t miss it THAT much.
