Canada... Land of splendors, of colorful spectacles and of beautiful friendly folks. Visiting her is easy but leaving her is not an easy affair as I always said. For two weeks, we explored the northwestern front and the midwestern province of Alberta. Our first leg of the trip took us to Vancouver, BC where we spent four fun-filled days with our college-day friends. We are grateful to Thai/Thoa for their warmest hospitality by having us in their home and be our tour-guide for the entire stay. Without them, it would have taken us the whole week to explore the city and its surrounding.
