				nice pics! what were you guys trying to spell? "swichue" "swaitie"?? lol.
i'm guessing no cabbot trail just yet, cuz i'm sure you'd be posting the classic shots.  man, can't wait to hit the east coast again, still so much to see and explore! did you guys do the south shore yet/too?

				We were all wearing shirts with mustaches on them and spelling "stache". We actually did drive the Cabbot trail, I must not have had a good shot with the van in it (although I have a suspicion 1 or a couple of the pre-Newfoundland pictures were from the Cabbot trail.

				Well we're almost in Halifax where I leave Ashleigh and continue home on my own.  We also met some surfers (see man on my roof), a great band called "The Odd Bit" as well as managing to find a lobster dinner cooked and ready to eat for just over $8 all in one day!

				Loving the pictures!!!   Someday I hope to get a proper Delica, and do something similar. I am glad I ran into you, and was a miniscule part of your adventure. Keep the pictures coming.

				Great meeting you the other night and discussing the ins and outs.  Pete's got way more a handle on it than I do.  Coolio on the photos - to bad the lighting wasn't better.  Either that or have Pete stay over too to get the better photo in the morning.  
I never thought I'd see that note I left you again.  That's how we do hospitality in the Maritimes - leave a note at your bedside!
Cheers
Ian

				Well I suppose you two could just drive out to Vancouver for a photoshoot...  
 
 
I thought the note was a really nice gesture so I just had to share it, I hope that's ok.

				I'm trying to keep on top of this thread a bit more now.  I picked up a kayak and it's staying inside the van on the bed with me until I'm back in Kamloops (pics to come).
