British Columbia (Continued... again)

Nov 1 (Vancouver) - We had our last day of volunteering which was surprisingly kind of sad. They really appreciated our help and it felt like we really made a difference there. A bunch of customers came up to us and were telling us how much they appreciate us being there... it was really nice. It's awesome to see that just by donating a few hours, you're able to make such a difference.

Nov 2 (Victoria) - We took the ferry over to Victoria which is a STUNNING ride. Something everyone has to do for sure! Eric and I were insistent on eating fish out there cuz how could we not be literally on the water and not eat fish? So we hunted for the cheapest fish and chips we could find and VOI LA (however that saying is spelled), we found it! Every bite was a treat to our mouths. mmm mmm mmm. DELISH! We then went to maket square which is a really cute area with a bunch of shops. We walked around for a while and checked out all the cool stores. We checked into our hotel and yet again, things went our way and we somehow got an upgrade at the Quality Inn. We had a king size bed, full kitchen, and a jacuzzi. Ammmazing! We then (of course) went to watch the leafs game. They sadly lost yet again. We decided we were SO not over the greatness of the fish out here so we went to the grocery store to buy salmon and cooked it up. At the store I kept saying that I needed samples of different kinds of (precooked) fish. About 7 samples later and a promise not to tell my friends to come around and do this, my taste buds were in heaven. We hung out for a bit then hit up a pizza place later to grab a slice. For those of you who know about my LOVE for dipping sauce, I had really died and gone to heaven! They had a sauce called "garlic, peppercorn, ranch"... what could be better? NOTHING!

Nov 3 (Victoria) - We woke up and headed to Beacon Hill Park which is a massive, stunning park. We walked around for a bit before heading over to Buchart Gardens. Its a massive gardens with many beautiful sites. The japanese gardens were both of our favorites. We then headed back to Vancouver to meet my cousine Beth and her boyfriend for a delish dinner of fresh fish. We definitely got our fair share of fish over these past few days.

Nov 4 (Vancouver) - We woke up so SADLY our last day in Vancouver. We decided to do the "grind" its a hike up a Grouse Mountain aka "Canada's stair master" as they call it. I literally thought I was going to die. It made me realize that I am in the worst shape ever. oy. Needa start workin those quads! After a huge sense of relief of making it to the top without having a heart attack and a much needed shower, we headed on our journey to Americaaaaaa (Seattle, Washington).

BYE BYE CANADA!
