Kelowna

Hey everyone,

It has been a long time since we blogged… It’s not because there’s nothing to blog about, but more because things are just now starting to settle down. Not only did we buy a condo (more pictures coming soon), but we also have a brand new niece! Danica Capri Seitz was born on July 31st and is absolutely beautiful…

But this blog is not about either of those exciting things. This blog is about our time spent in British Columbia.

At the end of July I spent a few days in the Vancouver area, to celebrate a wedding. My good friend Rob Kew got married in Mexico and had a reception in Point Roberts, USA, which is technically Canada as far as I’m concerned. I just about didn’t make it though because I forgot my passport and birth certificate in Medicine Hat. You would think travelling for nine months would have taught me something. Anyway, I got across the border with a only warning and had a great time visiting with friends.

I then met up with DawnO and my family in Kelowna. My dad has a sail boat on the Okanogan Lake and my uncle has a time share at this amazing house so we had a really great set up. I should mention that our next door neighbour was Jarome Iginla and perhaps I took a paparazzi shot of him. Oh the shame.

We had a great time visiting the O clan and got to spend some quality time with my GrandmaO and GrandpaO who are faithful blog followers.

We also got to meet up with our fellow Canadian volunteers who were in Guyana with us. Mick and Jackie mirrored our entire journey in a way. We took the same flight to Guyana together, we left Guyana at the same time, and we even toured the same countries after we were done our volunteer work. It was great catching up with them and comparing our trips.

It was a great holiday, but the real world has finally caught up to us and it’s time to get back to working. In the meantime, I’ll update the blog as our condo comes together.
