Oh Canada

 I took a total of 5 pictures on our Canada trip. Yes, that is a reflection of how much we enjoyed Canada. I took at least 30 pictures at the pumpkin patch!

Sean pretty much wrapping up our feelings. This is in the morning waiting at the pier for the Vancouver Clipper. Sean had a cold before we left and it stayed with him the entire trip. He used a lot of tissues!

On a horse and carriage ride.

The carriage driver who really didn't know much about the island and much of what she did say was not factual. She was a very nice person and very friendly. I didn't believe her horse urine and the copper on the capital story but according to some historical papers I read online it's true!

The Capital lit up at night.

Canada had all the same problems as the US. We were talking to a man who owned a Native American shop and he said "but we have universal healthcare". I said, you are correct you win! There were so many homeless people. It was like walking around Pioneer Park in SLC. People were smoking crack on the street. Homeless were sleeping in the doorways and by the piers. Apparently there homeless problems exploded during COVID. I really expected it to be "nicer" than the US and it was the same. It's like the homeless from Seattle have moved to Canada. I've lost my desire for international travel and am so glad our trip to China was cancelled. If it wasn't I would be on a plane right now headed to China and the thought of that exhaust me!!! I think we will stick to US travel for the next little while.
