November 21, 2004Motel-Land Victoria, BC   Have been living it up in the Crystal Court Motel in beautiful downtown Victoria… Yeehaw! From my oh-so originally shaped motel room (with walls that flow right into the ceiling) I have a wicked view of the Royal BC Museum totem poles with the roof of the epic Empress Hotel rising just beyond.

October 29, 2004 Victoria, BC Here I am, finally, in the arms of my beloved Vancouver Island. The drive across the mountains was snowwwy and mildly scary at times, but alas, all went well!

It’s going to take me a while but…   see more…

Had a lovely drive today, the blue blue sky, the sweet golden sun and the most beautiful autumn colours I have ever in my life seen. I remain in jaw-dropping awe at the glory of nature. And I feel so…   see more…

I’ve been home in Ontario for a few days only and have spent this time madly packing up all my worldly goods and getting ready to head westerly for the winter (where I’m very much planning on hibernating.)

September 22, 2004 Still down in the holler… HAPPY AUTUMN EVERYONE.  Here I am still, in the little log cabin in the mountains. Never did make it down to Asheville due to unfortunate amounts of hurricaning. Instead, we decided to stay here and make sure the roof didn’t blow off from one of the dozens of tornados that touched down…   see more…
