chuck kottke Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Seattle is part of Canada now? Spokane too? Nobody told me, my country is shrinking! :stunned: Canada, the force from the north, they're taking over!! Sound the alert - the redcoats are coming! :laugh3: methinks we're all just people on a planet. Truthfully. citizens of the planet earth. The rest is just for fun - like rooting for a sports team, or romantic dreams of a bygone era. To govern is local, to be human is global. But I do love the Canadian flag - any place with a tree or a leaf on the flag rates high, and maples are poifect trees for syrup, the wood is par-excellence, and their shape is magnificent. For shade they are nice, and the winged seeds are fun to watch fall gracefully to earth. Canada chose well the maple leaf on the flag - I wish we had more nature in our national symbols, tho the olive branch is there, how often forgotten the symbolism of it is. Beautiful sites, yes indeed - the grandeur of nature we have no parallel in. Glad to see you got to see all those fantastic parks!! Lots of incredible breath-taking scenery I'd bet.

No, your country isn't schrinking. :laugh3: We only wanted to visit Seattle and tour the northern US too. We were disapointed to remain 3 long hours at the border lining up to enter the US (from the canadian border). Endeed, there are so many foreigners that want to settle down in the U.S. that we were mingled with them even though we're only tourists. Enjoy ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leahg Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 I went on a whale watching trip off my coast 9 years ago. There was a mother whale and three baby whales swimming under our boat and cresting nearby. I was never so thrilled by the size and beauty of these creatures. I felt so humbled by nature's power that day. I was squealing with delight - you could hear me all over the boat. :) I was like a kid again.

FixYougirl Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm not amazed. I would have been so happy to see the baby whales under their mother. It's such a breath-taking view to see them. Living in Paris, for me it's an unforgettable memory. Nearby Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
