so this has been a super-awesome road trip thus far, for a few key reasons:
cheap- we haven't overspent our gas budget! also due to...
family- we haven't had to camp or pay for accomodations yet. After the first night staying at Binky's dad's, we stayed with Jonny in Calgary, my aunt in Vernon, and my cousin in Vancouver (presently). Besides the savings, I'm so happy that we have visited with these people.I rarely see family often enough to even keep up with what's going on in their lives, so a few days with them is a wonderful opportunity!
Beautifulness- Wow, mountains and the West Coast in general are breathtakinglybeautiful! So many pictures of pretty and the trip's not done yet.
In conclusion... I will be applying at both University of British Columbia AND Simon Fraser so as to double my chances of moving to Vancouver. I think I have fallen in love with this city and then some. The only bad thing about the city is the cost of living... but in reality... I can't stay at home with my parents in my home town forever and no matter where I am looking to move, the cost of living is going to somewhat interfere with my.... well, living.
Anyway, that is enough gibbergabber from me for the moment. I will be leaving Vancouver on tuesday morning and in theory, I will be back either late Wednesday evening or Thursday sometime. From there, it's up to Thompson to visit my sister.
well, so much for getting myself well prepared for the upcoming school year....(oopsie)

i'm so jealous that you're traveling! It sounds like sooo much fun. I also love the west coast, mountains really are breathtaking. Keep in mind that that sort of think can't be captured in a picture....
Hopefully the rest of your trip is just as good as the first half! Maybe after you get back from your sisters in thompson we can get together, i'm moving to the city this wednesday for good!
yay road trip!
Moving your piano up the hill to SFU is gonna suck hardcore, you know. Petra is heavy.
