Viajante Some of Canadian history is very haunting. There's no more being blissfully ignorant. We're very sorry to hear that thieves made off with Coleen's new bike. Maybe house insurance would cover it, if there is a police report.
Viajante Sorry to hear about Coleen’s bike. The visit you had is interesting and a very sad part of Canadian history. Thanks for sharing this.
Viajante Given your psychedelic shirt I thought maybe you were starting your Cross Country trip from SaltSping. Looking good. Happy trails.

It was sure nice seeing you two. I’m looking forward to following your adventures.
