Virtual Journey: Canada Tourist Guide & Autobiography. Excellent Places to Visit...

Every Place I've Been...

We Went on our Honeymoon to Vancouver, BC. We Rode a Bicycle built for Two in Stanley Park. Then We Had Formal Tea at the Hotel Vancouver.

Then We took a Ride on a Roller Coaster at the Pacific National Exhibition. This One was the Scaiest Roller Coaster I Ever Rode... When they Say: "Keep Your Seats" that's an INSTRUCTION meaning It's Your Job to Hang ON! for Dear Life.

Manning Park: Great Fishing. As a Child, my Family went Camping in Canada and I Caught Many Trout in a Creek... Sadly, My Brother Caught None... Early in the Day His Hook Fell Off of the Line but He Never Noticed... I just Kept on Catching 'em and Stufflng 'em in the Pocket of My Sweatshirt... Maybe a Dozen!

My Family took a Ferry Boat from Seattle to Victoria and That Ride was the Very First Memory of My Entire Life. I was Sitting on My Father's Shoulders and The Steam Whistle was VERY LOUD and Scary...

Banff/Lake Louise. Mom and I went to another of those Fancy Hotels and Ventured Out onto a Balcony to Admire the View. The Door Locked behind us and We were Trapped. Eventually We Were Able to Get the Attention of Someone that Opened the Door and Let us Back In... Brief Panic!

Fairmont Hotel Lake Louis Canada

My Farher and I Took a Hike at Lake Louis and We Saw the Mountain Goats with our Binoculars. For Some Unknown reason Dad was Really Thrilled by This... Could be his Zodiac Sign... The Old Goat... We also were looking for Canadian Bigfoot but did not see Him...

When I was working at System Industries (a High Tech Factory in Santa Clara, CA) some of the other employees went on Helicopter Skiing Vacations at Banff. A Helicopter takes you to the top of a mountain and you ski down thru UNTOUCHED Snow... 

Helicopter Skiing

Yes, We Were Paid a Lot and Could Do Things Like That... I got Married and Moved to Washington DC. Where I was Instantly Hired because I Had One Year Work Experience in Silicon Valley... 

Calgary Stampede: On one of our Family Camping Trips Dad Decided that We Should Drive to Calgary and Rent a Motel Room (as a break from Plain dirt Camping.) - When we Got There we found out that "The Stampede" was Happening and All Motel Rooms were Sold Out... 

Horse and Rider at the Calgary Stampede
We had never heard of "The Stampede" and So were Totally Surprised... So We Just went on Down the Road until we found someplace to Stay... and NO, We Did Not Attend the Rodeo... 

Quebec: Our Family Toured both Montreal and Quebec. Hotel Le Chateau Frontenac.

Hotel in Quebec - Castle Frontenac
The Only thing I Remember is that Dad Made a Big Deal out of Ordering Dinner in the French Language. I hope the Waitress Was Delighted...

Niagra Falls: I drove from My Home in Washington DC to Niagra Falls and Walked across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada. I was able to Walk Behind the Waterfall... and Have a LaBatts Beer... When I walked Back into the USA the Border Guard asked me "What was the purpose of my Journey to Canada?"and I replied: "To Get a Beer... They Only Sell the Good Quality Labatts in Canada." Well, the Border Guard was Not Pleased with that answer... No sense of Humor... and There was a Brief moment when I was wondering IF I was going to Get back into the USA... 

Maid of the Mist Boatride at Niagra Falls

Maid of the Mist Boatride at Niagra Falls... I took that Ride... Excellent! We Went Really Close to the Falls and Got Totally Drenched in the Spray... Everyone Gets to Wear a Super Thick Raincoat during the Voyage... 

Glacier National Park: We were Camping in a Tent when a Bear Picked up the Coleman (all metal) Ice Chest We Had Left on the Picnic Table... He Kept on Throwing it on the Ground Until it Busted Open. Then He Ate the Bacon and Butter but NOT the Honey... The Park Rangers Chased the Bear off... My Parents were Worried but I was unconcerned... The Rangers Were Unconcerned as well because they Knew The Bear Well.  Glacier, BC is Right Across the Border From Glacier, Montana.

Mainstream Media News is selling FEAR again... This time it's North Korea. I do not support a brand new pointless war there... We were fooled into believing there was a need for a pointless war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Panama and Vietnam... How many times can they fool us? To Quote George Bush... "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... ... Won't Get Fooled Again!"

Now that your good deed for the day has been done...
Enjoy this picture of Beautiful Lolita, California.

Remember that when enough people speak out against the madness, laws change... policy changes... wars end... That is the historical lesson of Vietnam... Due to public pressure, President Nixon ended the war. 
That is the historical lesson of Iraq... Due to public pressure, President Obama ended the Iraq War... That is the historical lesson of legalization of Marijuana in Colorado and Washington State... The Voters Spoke... 
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 
Hemp Farming... Illegal in the USA. 
a Google Image search returns zero pictures of an airplane flying into the Pentagon on 9/11/2001... Why?
