British Columbia: Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and Okanagan Valley August 20-28

Hello Folks who visit this blog. This is the last post for the trip! I may continue to use this blog to post travel pictures, but since school is around the corner, I probably will be sedimentary for a while.

It is hard to believe that the trip is finished and I must now be confined to one place- the campus. Nevertheless, it has been a very worthwhile trip for me and I would not trade anything for it.

I hope through these posts, I was able to share with you my joy and my learning. Thank you for supporting me along the trip and also when I was in Ottawa. Now that I am in Vancouver, I actually miss Ottawa. : )

Hope to visit Ottawa again in the near future.

Cheers,

David Y Chen

MacMillan Park on the island. It is right of the highway and has really really old Douglas fir trees and Red Cedars as well. Admission- free. Absolutely stunning to walk in.
