The Other Coast

Kitimat, BC – Prince Rupert, BC: You know you’re in British Columbia when there’s a book called “The Teaching of Buddha” in the bedside table at your hotel, and no Bible. There’s also a pillow menu (your options: Japanese Memory Foam Pillow, Chrysanthemum Pillow, Buckwheat Pillow or Polished Jade Disc Pillow.) Yes, we’re living large on the West Coast. I saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time today – watched a seal bobbing in the harbour, and marvelled at the crazy-looking starfish with a million fat tentacles. Nice to smell salt in the air again. It’s official: we’ve made it to the other coast!
