So for the first time in my 19 yrs of life I have traveled across to the B.C. Islands. Its like Canada's own personal version of Hawaii It is absolutely gorgeous and quite the experience. I would recommend if anyone needs some inspiration or just an amazing peaceful holiday you go to Salt Spring Island or any of the other small B.C. Islands.
My best friend moved down so I gave her a ride to her new home; Salt Spring Island. It was an amazing good-bye holiday and I plan on returning.
The first day we were there we traveled the whole island, sight seeing and gift shopping, and of course exploring. I went in the ocean and collected many huge sea shells. We went to these cute little quaint coffee shops and had London Fogs and steamed milks with flavor shots. YUMMY!! There were also art galleries with huge sculptures worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that had them set up in the forest. it was amazing.
The whole island is a "hippy" island. People hitch hike and car pool, everything is made of recycled fabrics, and everyone has a vegetable gardens. I bought so many fresh veggies it was crazy. There is no pollution as there are no power plants or pulp mills and there are so many shops with hand made materials. Home made lunches, it was amazing. I even gave a complete stranger a ride! I would never dare to do such a thing on a regular basis, but it is though everyone is trust worthy and so it causes you to relax and e the same. It is definitely a peaceful island.
Alannah and I went on a hike in a park and even got to see a seal :D. We also got to go to the very top of a mountain and got to stand in the clouds at the top of the island. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There was a goat farm with goat cheese and goat gellato. We got to try all the kinds of cheeses and flavors. it was amazing.
I can't wait to go back!
Life isn't fun and games once you are an adult by law, in fact i swear the world is sometimes out to get you. But don't let it get you too down, that's just how shit rolls.
I find life always has ups and downs that come in sets of bad, good, bad. For example here are mine from the last couple of months:
Hotel fires me but says i quit, I got a different Night job i shall not disclose, I had to quit that job because my room mate/ best friend told my mother who didn't approve.
I finally kissed the guy of my dreams in a hot tube, but then i had to work at the club and our night ended short, but it was amazing, but now he doesn't talk to me anymore.
I got a new rescue horse named jewels, but Korinna ended up loosing too much weight over the winter and through spring, i had to sell jewels because she was too much for me, but i got Frank and moved the horses to a better place.
My parents separated for good, but mom moved to salmon arm with the youngest sister Tori, but Paige is living here, but my dad is charging me $350 to live with him.
I can't afford to go to school, I have a job at a golf course and quit the night club, but i now have my bar tending degree.
I met Spencer and he's a redneck (which is awesome, he rides horses (well when i ask him too but he doesn't bitch about it he actually somewhat has fun, my dad liked him at first, but dad heard some things about him and he is unemployed and falls asleep on me all the time and we are starting to argue a bit because i'm not so happy with him always sleeping while we hang out or always hanging with only his friends and especially the fact he doesn't have a job and is super possessive.
I am so in debt I can't even think, but my horses keep me wanting to push forward and Copper (oh ya i got a new puppy on xmas eve. he is a bloodhound cross and is irritatingly stuborn but adorable and talks to me all the time) always helps me get a good smile and laugh.
Thus I have two amazing horses and a puppy and a great guy, who needs to get a job and let me have some freedom, and at least i still have Paige to keep me laughing when she gets home, but hopefully I can get a better job.
