home turfs like the sea
I'm a step closer to working for the Census this year. Reading through the information and some potted history trivia for it has been great and I can feel the pleasure of anticipation building. A new challenge, talking to new people, getting my people skills out for a workout too. Hopefully all the time as Tour Guide will come in handy for some

We didn't stay there long, we mostly wanted to see greenie_breizh (which we didn't get to see that much since she was pretty busy :( ) before visiting some parts of BC and Alberta. We went twice to Stanley Park (the first time, we didn't have much time, and the next day we hadn't much to do, so we rented bikes to go around the Park). It was pretty exciting to see a racoon real close. Well, until it started searching into the trash bags, which wasn't so cool... With all the bear-proof trash boxes there is around the country, why couldn't they adapt the concept to prevent Stanley Park's fauna from living of garbage, and keep some of its dignity and wildness? That's too bad. :s
Apart from that... I loved that park! The forest, the Beaver Lake, the birds and mammals, the totem poles... Cool place.
I could spot the big sulfur piles that we get to see in one of the first season ep of Highlander. Pretty impressive, even seen from such a distance!
I tried to pay attention to the horse carriages, in hope you would be driving one of them :P, but we didn't see that many horses, actually.
Right now, I live between three places in France. ;) Paris and Rennes mostly, with some weekends around Nantes. And I went back too school, studying archeology. I would rather do archeology in North (or South) America, because I find it pretty more exciting than boring gallo-roman or Middle-Age stuff, but, well... We'll see how things turn out.
I think I would enjoy living in Vancouver. Or on Vancouver Island. ;) Except that they don't seem to have many bookstores, which is a shame!
I wanted to buy a novel written by a Canadian author, Karin Lowachee, and I had to wait to be back in France to be able to get it!!!
