Hi world,
before I am going on travelling tomorrow I will let you know the latest. My sister is in the plane back home now. Greetings from here and a safe flight! We only spent two nights on campus which was not only founded in the fact that you can have trouble coming up here in the snow. We were stuck one afternoon and only some "Angels" came and gave us a ride up here (buses were not running anymore) and it was Christmas day! Well, streets were worse than in this pic:
But we were also travelling quite some. Around here plus my second time in Seattle and my third time in Victoria. Some pix of this:
Capilano Suspension Bridge
views
on the wobbling bridge
an eagle
Amtrak to Seattle (which was wobbling, too... lol)
Seattle, Pioneer Square
we did an interesting Underground Tour
there was a lot to know about the sewage...
this was once the fourth tallest building in the US, guess where the others were... right Manhattan
one of the nicest places of the city
bye bye Seattle, off to Victoria
with a Clipper
en detail
lol
in the Parliament Building (open to the public without security check)
from the outside
hunting for souvenirs and presents ;-)
well... lol
just home and off to a great icehockey game in Vancouver (not the Canucks but very well, the Giants)
fights included :-o
which was not the only programme
I am off to Montreal tomorrow to spend my New Year's eve either there or in Québec City.
I wish you all A HAPPY NEW YEAR!! :-D

More snow
... and rain as well. Depends on where you are, downtown it's more rain. On the mountains it's more snow. On Wednesday we were quite lucky on Grouse Mountain. We had snow and sun. So some pix of this. My sister is visiting me at the moment and we are tourists again. Unfortunately her camera does not fit to my lapi. So I cannot show you pix of everything. ;-)
Apart from that many of the friends I made last semester have left for home, some for good. That's the way it is. I am looking forward to next semester with new courses, being a German instructor and meeting old and new friends.
Here is Grouse:
so sorry, George and Andy, we forgot about the snowball fight for you ;-)
there would have been enuff snow, though
I had a beaver tail there in the summer, not this time...
the birds
views
ain't that special?
reindeer
sundown
bye bye Grouse, for the moment...
cats are waiting
Plus: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag Mami!
