Good morning all. We hope you are all well - get in touch on the "Blog Message tab" and let us know how you all are? It’s remarkable what you can do with no money! Since we are in saving mode we have been trying not to spend any money at all we keep visiting local haunts. We visited Wreck Beach which by the way is a WEIRD place – it’s a nude beach just behind the University of British Columbia (no we didn’t get naked!). We were actually quite...

I think certain shops in Vancouver could close for the rest of year esp. the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Shop and any shop with Canada Hoodies.
