Off to Prince George

---

Today we left my daughter Adrienne's house near Vancouver and headed for Prince George to attend a wedding. Tim lived there in the 80's but I'm a Prince George virgin, which I understand is a rare thing. When I told my friends that I was going there, the usual response was "Ugh, don't expect much". I'm guessing that I will be pleasantly surprised.

To get there, we had to pass through a number of small towns and cities, all of which I'd heard but none of which I'd visited. I was surprised by their stunning settings among verdant forests and azure lakes and rivers. From what I'd heard about them, I'd expected smelly mill towns. It was a lesson to me to not make assumptions based on other people's observations.

We spend tonight with friends on an acreage outside Prince George. Tomorrow I get to see Prince George with my own eyes. Should I be excited? We'll see, won't we?

Be excited!
yes, Eileen - please be excited or you won't be you. PG can be charming and has loads of history. Say hi to Mr PG for me. I'd love to see a pic of you both standing beside him! xo

Hello
It must be relieving to be doing this trip rather than talking about doing it. I am enjoying your awesome blog entries! Hi to you both... ?
