time flies, at warp speed these days. especially when so much joy and pleasure sprinkle ones life. yet another month or so has gone by, a month not particularly uneventful, weeks of experiences and a gazillion of impressions.
once on a quest for making a living here in canada, i have steadily established an ‘everyday life’; this might sound aggravating but let me tell you one thing, it ain’t. i have embraced everyday life and what it utterly comes down to is mere appreciation. i had been given a job, next thing i knew were interesting and challenging duties with a motley team as a sublime cohort. long story short, i seriously value my job and i am abundantly appreciative of being a part of a top-notch gang.
somewhat accustomed to the manners of sustaining livelihood here in canada, it just never gets tiring. here’s why:
in the previous entry i tried to delineate how i experience my life on the edge, with surprises at every turn. whether it’s finding somebody who loves playing canasta as much as i do – and we’re talking traveling halfway around the globe just to find someone who not only has heard of it but plays it. thank you :). or it might as well be the fact that brittany and i embarked on yet another prime trip to vancouver to get ourselves a real treat…mulled wine, glühwein (or as i/we refer to it: a guads gliahweidl) at van city downtown, that’s right kids. 😉
oddly enough, i do live an everyday life, yet i don’t. either way, i cherished every single moment i have been granted around here!
now, time to getcha stoke on;
along the way, a true gem has come to my knowledge, which would be revelstoke. revelstoke mountain resort aka revy has turned out to be my ultimate playground to let any skier’s dreams come true. some 200 clicks outside of kamloops in to the interior of british columbia, the revel-stoke is a little town, a hick town in a good way, located in the middle of nowhere. be that as it may, revelstoke is worth skiing for a day or two. i have been there quite a view times now and just recently discovered terrain entirely new to me. what is called the south bowl, diehard skiers and snowboarders throw down heavily, joyful to watch. i am privileged to ski the very terrain, recon, scout and scope my own – maybe creative, maybe not – lines and natural hits.
let me get you the gist of what a day at revy looks like:
a far cry from early birds, we get up as early as possible to hit up asap. next thing we know is skiing our butts off and having the time of our lives. after clocking in a full day riding we pack up and head out of town and back to the loops (kamloops). not to be neglected before leaving the stoke for a week or so, it has already turned into our tradition to swing by at the great white north. at first sight, a tacky, an almost worn down restaurant right outside revy. as far-fetched from enchanting it may appear, i strongly suggest to go and see for yourself why it has gotten to be a delightful tradition. best burgers in town full stop. good bunch of people, sublime service and the burgers…out of this world, hammering good! 😀 if you ever get the chance to travel through british columbia your route automatically takes you there, the great white north, killer flavor. your taste buds will thank you for it! 😉
wrapping things up here, a day at revy is the bees’ knees. if time and schedule play along and allow us to do an overnighter, we add an outdoor hot tub session while tossing back brews and to top off the day we hoist another one at ‘the last drop’. the last drop is the locals’ hub, a get-together featuring live gigs and a crazy crowd. 🙂
very well then, that ought to cover the past month of my life here in bc. since i have spent my days at a makeshift accommodation i am currently on a quest looking for an apartment. preferably on a long-term basis but i will cross that bridge when i come to it. a life on the edge, graciously guided by the good shepherd.
alrighty folks,
take care now and stay beautiful.
