Our Langley Staycation

2016-04-06_0001

I love living in the most beautiful corner of the earth.  The snow-capped mountains, the rain-drenched fir trees, the severe-clear blue skies, the rain-soaked skies, the salt-covered beaches make for perfect Langley Staycation opportunities.

I especially love welcoming my friends and family into this corner of paradise and showcasing all the beauty and glory to be found on the nooks and crannies of the beautiful British Columbia that I have come to know and love.

The First Adventure in a New Land

  Let’s just mark this as my first adventure in non-communicating.  In a world where English just isn’t very common, life in this foreign country becomes a game of pantomiming, synonyms, and the Google Translate App on my phone.  “Gym?” “gym?” “workout room?” “running room?” “exercise?”  “gymnasium?” After much head-shaking and putting three heads together,…
