Grocery Trip Part Deux

As you can tell by the previous post, we went to the grocery store. Nesters Market is the name


I know this might not be interesting, but it was kinda neat doing something normal as grocery shopping in another country. All the measurements you're used to, (1/2 gallon of milk, 1/2 pound of turkey) are in different units. We picked up a litre of milk, and I ordered 300 grams of ham plus 300 grams of roast beef.

Also, purchased chicken, pasta, tomatoes, and butter. It was interesting to note the brands of products. We saw a lot of national brand names, but there are foods that are only found in Canada. I (Michele) am glad that I had shopped at World Market and Trader Joe's in the past, I didn't feel so out of place. America has better prices, even in the expensive ones.

I uploaded a picture of the houses behind the grocery store. That was taken with the phone. Michele took a much better picture with her camera. Here it is.

Ok, that's it from here today. Going to start the major sightseeing tomorrow. More pics and tales!

This is the view from the grocery store parking lot. Lot of fog on the mountain. More about the store later.

sunday morning

So today I was able to watch my Giants play the Dolphins in London! Lucky for me, the game was broadcast on one of the channels here. Since the game was shown live, that meant 10 am here. Now we have the rest of the day to do stuff. First order of business, off to the grocery store to pick up supplies for the week. After that we may look around the village some more. Who knows? I'm sure there will be more pictures to follow.

We made it!

Hey everyone, we finally made it. This pic doesn't nearly do justice to the view from outside our lodge. The mountain is literally right up from the village. The drive up from Vancouver was winding and hilly, but really beautiful. We're gonna go back and get some more pics to post.

We have some Canadian dollars to spend. I need to go get a Coke since they're supposed to be made with real sugar. Here are some more pics.





A mountain up from the highway. Michele took this from the car while we were driving up.


This was taken from the plane flying into Canada.

All these pics were taken from my phone. You can just imagine what they're gonna look like when we bust out our cameras! Till tomorrow, good night!

In Chicago

We made it to Chicago and have boarded our flight to Vancouver. Very exciting. We have never flown out of O'Hare, so this has been an experience. Two mega airports in 5 hours. With one more to go? Look out world!

How early is it??

Well, it' 6:15 am and we're at the *busy* airport. We've got a long day ahead of us. Michele's sleeping at the moment, I'll wait till I'm on the plane. At the very least this blog will be updated nightly. Stay tuned!!!
