we have made the round trip, we are back in Vancouver - British columbia, Canada.

since the last blog; South of San Fransisco, we have stuck to the coast travelling north. we walked over the Golden Gate Bridge, went up and down the steep streets of S.F.walked through forests of the worlds tallest trees and along beaches that are out pirate movies, with moutains sticking up out of the sea. we did a day of dairy tours in California, saw sea lions, otters and yesterday even elephants and zebras (we went to Cabelas - hunting store with hundereds of stuffed animals)

the weather has been magnificent all the way up the coast...but looking out the window now....there is atleast 10inches of snow on the ground and it hasnt stopped snowing all day!

lucky we only have 2weeks left. we plan to spend the time learning to ski, iceskating on a frozen lake, making snow men, keeping warm and (fingerscrossed) selling the van!

HAVE A VERY MERRY XMAS (and a very warm sunny australian xmas) as we enjoy our first (very) white christmas.

see you soon!
