Moving to Vancouver Day 3

I touched the clouds today. Can you say you say the same?

Gas $37

Motel $53

I had no idea that the great lakes are situated on such a high elevation. I took a mental note to one day return to Terrace bay and maybe retire there for a year or two during the summer.  I mean, who can resist a pituresque lake where you get to enjoy a quiet day fishing shrouded by clouds.

Thunder bay is a city of 110 000 with a small downtown that reminds me of a surfer’s vacation city. No sky scrapers with a peaceful feeling… except for the Walmart and big corporation invasion in the new part of town. According to Terry, the Motel manager, Thunder bay is the biggest producer of amethyst and gold in Canada.

One thing that is new for me are Indians. At first, I thought they are Asians, but there are subtle variations in their facial features that made me doubt my decision until I asked one of them. It make sense though since this is the most logical place in Canada to be untouched by western society. At least, I don’t stand out like the only colored person within a white soup.

Tomorrow Winnipeg… Oh yeah and I made this video out of time lapse video every 5 minutes. It seems to have turned out ok. I will try a finer grained time lapse tomorrow since the memory card and battery seems to be able to take it.
