rocky mountain time

think i'm finally over the jet lag - if you call getting up at 5 a.m. normal - gets light then and i'm still a farmer
really like BC especially the wild islands and pacific ocean. lots of trees, lakes and sky there are many similarities to africa such as size, wilderness, solitude but also many contrasts when you hit the urban sprawls which is not my cup of tea - that's also rare - people here prefer "corefee" which can be like dish water!
found a really good draft lager "granville isalnd" - there's many a beer here and plenty breweries - now that's interesting!
RV's all over, some bigger than buses towing cars and boats, saw a ford F 550 - what a monster would love to take one back to the kalahari but guess couldn't afford the fuel would need a private well.
we're back in vancouver later today and lara arrives tomorrow, next week we're hiring a yacht and sailing around vancouver island - watch out for icebergs!
missing simplicity of africa and starting to look forward to return. when you see these north americans in action you better believe global warming very wasteful society
heard that the rhino sisters have settled down at seribe, hope ben (our big bull) will sniff them out soon and give them a seeing to!
