15 Minutes of Fame
A Day at the Beach

Up for the second day in a row early. Today was moving day. Our landlady came and picked up the keys and gave us our damage deposit and that was that. We walked down the street to our favourite coffee shop, “West of Java”, and were treated to coffee and breakfast by the owners Jean and James. I really enjoyed the last few weeks talking to them about my trip, and listening to them share their past and future dreams as well. Apparently I have a credit in their file for FREE coffee if I come back in the next three years; how cruel is that!?

We hopped on the SeaBus and Canadaline out to the airport where we met our friends Megan and Paul, who, along with their family were joining us for a vacation in Ucluelet, BC. The cell reception at the campground is spotty, and there is no Wi-Fi, so that should give us our first taste of being “offline” in a long time. Then again, given where we’ll be next week, this could be good practice. We setup our tent and I hung out at camp while Amanda and Megan went to put out a few traps in the water.

The rest of the day passed pretty much in a haze. I think I’m finally starting to relax, as it is all blurring together. I remember starting to read, “The Art of Happiness” and then napping for a bit. We ate fresh salmon and tuna for dinner, and then I whittled up some marshmallow roasting sticks for s’mores. I want to say we crashed early because it seemed early, but it was dark and 10pm. I was asleep by 11 after catching up on Twitter and writing this blog.
