This Is Why I'm Here

For the past two hours I have watched the sunset above the ocean outside my cousin's close-enough to waterfront home in Powell River, B.C.

Scary start to the day, waking up 5 mins. before I intended to call my cab to get me to the closest stop to the ferry. But all ended well as I am here after all - three ferries with two windy interludes between gorgeous mountains later.

I have always had issues using chopsticks. I've had many mini-tutorials from family, friends, and classmates at a variety of respective restaurants with a variety of types of chopsticks, yet my performance has not been consistent. Until today. Apparently all I needed was a three-step instruction (with photo accompaniment) provided conveniently on the chopstick wrapping - which I have generously shared here.

Tonight I must make up for my lack of sleep (3.5 hours only last night as we took housemate Ryan to Sticky Wicket, Victoria, for the first night of many enjoyed downtown).

Tomorrow will be an exploration of this 10.000 populated town/village.
