Peachland "Everydays a good day, some are just better than others." Today was definitely one of the better ones. I woke up this morning with no plans and that was a good thing. On Sundays during the Spring and Summer, Peachland has a farmers market where vendors sell arts and crafts along with fruits and vegetables. Being early in the spring, today's market didn't have much to offer in the way of farming produce. After the market, a stroll down beach avenue was in order.

My gloves that were good enough for Banff Conditions (-15c), ... read more

August 2009 My first ever holiday overseas and its to the big city of LA. It is definitely a party town, as long as you leave 2 hours earlier to get to where your going due to all the traffic but apart from that, its well worth a visit.

I enjoyed the "casualness", casual for LA, of the beach life just walking the beach and enjoying a little bit of sun when it peaked through the smog and marine layer. Santa Monica Pier is a fun and exciting place with Rides and Entertainment such as buskers as you stroll along it. Having not seen much in life, ... read more
