KAREN: Left about 10 a.m. for Terrace, BC. Not sure what we would find there. Saw a fox on the way. Woo! Hoo! Came around a bend to see Walmart, McDonald’s, KFC, and Taco Bell. Yup, very much Americanized in Canada. What’s missing are restaurants. See a Denny’s occasionally, but not other chains. A&W is everywhere. Shopped at Costco in Prince George. And malls? Well, we did stop at one here, but it’s nothing like we have back home. This would be something you would’ve seen in the ’60s. Yuck! There must be a lot of shopping on line. No UPS or Fed Ex trucks, wonder how they get their packages? We did see a couple of Greyhound buses towing trailers. That must be how they ship their packages.
PETE: On the way to Terrace, BC we ran into more spectacular scenery. As time progresses, I think I’m going to run out adjectives to describe the awe inspiring surroundings. Here is but a small example of what we saw.
We also saw our second black bear and this time he decided to pose for us before taking off into the woods. Here he is in his glory.
On our way home we decided to stop off at the Kispiox Village and visit the Totem Poles. Each Totem Pole tells a story about one’s family and their previous generations. Their kind our daunting and at times primitive but they offer an insight on the people and their struggles. View the Totems here.
