Port Simpson

Where you say? Port Simpson is definately a new experience for those of you people who may have never gone beyond the wide world of the lower mainland. The roads are dirt, the traffic non existant and the weather very snowy!!! Not to mention that the power goes out for about 2-3 hours at a time. No ice cream for Kim!!! sigh! Let the good times roll!

I am here to play with a beautiful pool and fitness centre that they have set up in Port Simpson for the local band. Let me tell you that people in the lower mainland could be so lucky to have a pool that is this beautiful. Pictures of whales on the walls gives a feeling of being outdoors and with nothing but snow outside along a very windy coastline you are definately in a Thomas Kincade picture.

Anyway my first look at where I was going to be hanging out was from a small plane...at first I didn't see any houses so I have to say I was a wee bit scared. Lots of mountains and snow but no houses..ok what have I gotten myself into. Luckily they were found on the other side of the plane so... phew, I was safe.

Spent the day In Prince Rupert, and then boarded the one ferry that travels only twice a day to Port Simpson. Spent an hour in a car on the ferry...froze my toes off and then there we were...the big dirt road leading to mecca! Sooo travelled another 20 minutes to Simpson and voila saw alot of dogs, snow and the pool. Too much excitement for me. Well this adventure is just beginning so hopefully you will stay tuned to hear if Kim actually does stop shoveling the walk, if she meets a wolf or other wildlife (animal or man) and if the power will come back on so she is not living in a parka. Bye for now
