Golden Ears Bridge to Maple Ridge, BC

3 Clock Dining Nook - The middle displaying the Pacific Coast time, the one on the right displaying Central Standard time and well the one of the left is supposed to be displaying the time in Austria where Nina is from.

Mr. Sapperton, Tom and Nina's cat, waits at his automatic feeder for it to dispense. He's also discovered a way to reach up inside of it to pull food out as he pleases.

Friday morning Tom fries up a delicious breakfast of an egg sandwich and hash browns.

Fried egg, cheese, mayo, Roma tomato, lettuce on an English Muffin with seasoned hash browns.

    So I have made it to British Columbia safe and sound via a flight to Seattle, WA and then a 3 and a half hour bus ride north to Surrey, BC where I met Tom at the Campbell River Store. It was great to see Tom as he was excited to share what he knows about the area with me as we toured around BC. This is my first time passing into Canada and I can't say I was not excited, but also unsure of the whole process.

   Tom attends Simon Fraser University as a Ph.D student studying oceanography and resource management. While here I will get to document the ecological restoration project of Stoney Creek near Simon Fraser University and conduct video interviews of community members in regards to Stoney Creek and past area restoration projects.

   Today we will be venturing out to Vancouver Island for a few days to check out the scenery and head back Sunday.  Monday is a Canadian civic holiday, as Tom tells me it was added to keep up with the amount of American holidays. This might work out in our favor to get images of the project and some B-Roll video as well that day while everyone is busy.

  Until next time.
