the journey of two travelers near and far on a series of foreign detours

Canada

We have explored two different sections of Canada. Our first Canadian adventure was during the summer of 2008 when we invaded Montreal for a few days. We rented an apartment in downtown Montreal and explored the expansive city by foot and subway. We hiked to the top of Mont’real and really enjoyed the city.
Our second Canadian invasion was on our Spring/Summer 2009 USA Roadtrip. We entered British Columbia due north of Seattle and spent the day exploring Vancouver. There was a lot of construction in preparation for the upcoming winter Olympic games, but it was a treat to explore. We were lucky enough to see a 3 day old newborn baby Beluga whale at the Vancouver Aquarium. From Vancouver we took off eastward bound exploring British columbia for several hundred miles before re-entering the US north of Spokane, Washington.
