As promised, here are some of the photos we got in Vancouver. We’re in London now, and after walking for about 10 hours yesterday (we estimated about 14km), we have a ton of photos from here already, but first things first.
Although it is my intent to write more once we get a bit more used to life on the road, for now I think I’ll let the pictures do (most of) the talking.
Colin gave us a few rides in his Bronco, including from the G-hound station. What a guy.
Nerds on ice. Photo by Brianna.
Laura is graceful like a gazelle, except when she fell on her bum (which may have been partially my fault. sorry babe!).
Later on we met Katy and Kendall for a movie and a pint. Katy's a journamalist.
Brianna's cat Seepo clearly wants to do some traveling of his own. Unfortunately, we had to leave him behind.
Pig on pig: Des made Dale his meal of choice for his birthday--Pancetta bacon wrapped on a juicy pork roast. It was indeed porkalicious.
Over 10 pigs died to bring us this meal.
As usual, Dale does all the work while everyone else stands around. Actually, that's not usual at all.
Des made Dale half a birthday cake. She also made us half a going-away cake (notice the word "BYE" on the right). Aside from being an awesome new-Mom, she's also a master baker.
Group shot!
Laura and Isla-bean. What a couple of cuties.
Bath time! Rubber ducky you're so fun!
Okay, this one's not Vancouver, but I didn't have time to post it before. Laura rocks out with the Malibu Knights in Kelowna. Dean (on bass) put us up. Woot.
you are beard. indeed that’s what i meant :p

Nerds on Ice is so very much so my favourite laugh-out-loud moment of your photo set thus far. I’m finally caught up on your blogging around the world updates and so very very happy for you and won’t lie–kinda cried a bit for sheer happiness/sadness. Especially that picture of Laura with the baby. Laura, you’re going to be an amazing Mom one day. Chris, you’re beard is gnarly.

Merhaba Kat. Nasil siniz? or in English, How are you? I’m glad you’ve enjoyed our blog. It’s been a lot of work, but it gives me a purpose for all my photos and stories. Thank you for the kind baby comment, I appreciate it. We miss you too Kat. I look forward to the day when you and I are sitting on the same couch, sipping wine, laughing and being girly. Love you. -Laura-

Well, I did find a totally KVLT video of a one-woman black metal band from Turkey called Ä°lkim Oulanem, but I figured the mouse thing was more appropriate.

Ha ha ha. That video is perfect. Is this what I can expect now that you guys are parents? Disney cartoons? I thought for sure that link would be a grindcore video of some sort or maybe some Norwegian death metal.
