Hola Columbia Britannica

Argentina has disappeared beyond the curvature of the earth....
Lowering the Bridge between the Island Ferry and Vancouver Island...a few steps away from home turf.
Barely daylight at around nine in the morning, chilly, damp, partly clouded sky. The ferry glides smoothly through Active Pass from the mainland to Vancouver Island.
Winter season maybe, but no deterrent to several busloads of Asian tourists, who photograph everything from gulls, sea scapes, reflections of themselves in the ship's windows, cloud formations...one sits and reads the latest Island News, drinks a Starbucks and munches on a mass produced croissant.


So quiet, after the hustle of Buenos Aires...
