Beautiful Bowen Island

I made it to Bowen last night. Managed to make it onto the last boat rather than watch it sail away just as I arrive... which is what usually happens when I try to make the last one...
Been all over the lower mainland in the last couple days. Something like 6 hours of busses and skytrains...
My last day in Abbottsford consisted of breakfast and meditation at the Sikh temple (told you they'd be seeing me again), long soggy walks around the flooded trails of the Abbotsford city park system and cookin up some sweet potata' with Michelle, and a late evening Lego run to Walmart with Doug... Rearranging some more furniture with Dustin (you'd really have to meet these people to understand. good times)
Off nice and early Friday morning... took a greyhound out to Vancouver to meet up with Cat. After much wandering about in the rain and very little manifesting of a place to stay, we ended up bussing it all the way out to her place in Aldergrove, a good 4/5 of the way back to Abbotsford where I started out that morning - hah.
Annnd back to Vancouver the next evening, just in time to watch all of the shops I had things to pick up at, close steps before my arrival. nothing important - trivial things, that can be lived without.
Really nice to see the Fams here on Bowen island. Leah and Ron and Terran. Jayden is quite the charectar these days... and Kian's Voice is dropping! I knew it was coming soon!
And to Dad - thanks for sending my new driver's licence - it made it here no problem....if only my solar battery charger were so prompt to arrive. It is not here yet
Hopefully things will be sorted out by monday morning...
Got a few things to do here before my flight on moday. I take off at 2:35pm for Adelaide, Australia with a 2 hour stop in Hong Kong. Flights are reconfirmed. I'm good to go.
And to the people that left comments on the last entry, that is cool. and feel free to leave more or drop me emails as the trip gets interesting!
