It was 1980.  I was on a cross-Canada train trek (except by bus in places like between Vancouver and Victoria) visiting artist-run galleries in order to better function as manager of a gallery in my hometown.  I was enjoying the day in Vancouver before boarding the train for my return trip East.  It was my 24th birthday!

Almost a month later I was home and found out my grandfather had passed away on my birthday!  He died while happily watching a CFL game on TV.  Somehow, I have always looked at this BC experience as some kind of karmic connection between Ontario and British Columbia and my grandfather and I.  I have yet to return to the West to continue the journey, but I know someday, somehow I will.  Stay tuned: I am!

 We found this revolving restaurant within walking distance of our B&B. 

 We had cocktails in the evening and brunch on Sunday and saw the most amazing view at very affordable prices!

 If you've never been to BC....then just go!

Spectacular scenery, friendly people, lots to do.

If I didn't have so many "roots" in ontario, I would live out there!
