Telus Music Festival North America » Canada » British Columbia » Whistler Village By Sazzle DazzleApril 16th 2007 A week in Whistler and the free festival has certainly been my savour! The music has been awesome and I've discovered a new understanding and appreciation for regee and drum and bass again! This scene is massive over here so I've been loving the vibes! So we saw Bassnectar on Saturday night and then Steve Marley, K9 and Jr Gong on Sunday. It was immense and Byron and I bounced around in the crowd the entire afternoon. We hit Tommy's after where some wicked chick from Toro... read more

Von diesem Turm haben wir die Photos über Toronto geschossen. Er ist das schmalste frei stehende Gebäude der Welt, 553m (Spitze). Am Dienstag Abend schauten wir uns ein Baseballspiel im Stadion direkt neben dem CN-Tower an. Hier ist während dem Spiel ein kommen und gehen, und das Bier kostet etwa 3mal so viel wie sonst. Ich musste sogar meine ID zeigen um eines zu bekommen, und als ich noch ein zweites für Manuel wollte erklärte er mir dass dies nicht möglich sei... Als ich aber 1Min später wieder kam war es kein Problem. Anderes Land, andere Regeln... Zum Glück war am nächsten Tag schöneres Wetter, denn wir besuchten die Niagarafälle. Recht eindrücklich, wenn ich sie mir auch einiges grösser vorgestellt hatte. Die Fälle sind recht niedrig, Ich verliess dann die Tour, da ich in Niagara blieb ... read more

It was a bad week for me because of injury and illness! While climbing a small mountain on the Gulf of Mexico coast, a loose boulder fell onto my hand. Two days later we arrived in Durango where Graciela came with me to get it checked out at the hospital. I got an x-ray and it turned out my thumb was fractured and now I have to wear a splint. The same night, I was really sick with Montezuma’s Revenge. It was bad for two days so we got the neighbourhood doctor to take a look. She prescribed a drug to keep me from throwing up, and Carmen gave it to me by needle in the rear end. It seemed to work and I got better. We went with Paco, Graciela, Gerardo, Carolina, Chiznel, Sandra ... read more

Auf dem Weg von Regina nach Calgary machten wir noch einen Abstecher nach Moose Jaw. Hierhin hat sich Al Capone verzogen als es ihm in New York zu heiss wurde. Darauf wurde das Kaff zu einem Gangsterparadies mit einem unterirdischen Gangsystem. Dieses kann man besichtigen. Die Führung ist aber nicht wie von Museen gewohnt ein alter Herr der einem alles erklärt bis man mehr als genug gehört hat und dann geht es weiter zum nächsten Teil. Es ist mehr ein Rollenspiel und man wird regelrecht in die Zeit zurückversetzt. Nur schon ihre Kleidung, aber auch die Action und die Besuchereinbindung machten den Abstecher zu einem echten Erlebnis. Inzwischen ist es hier sommerlich warm und die Sonnenuntergänge dementsprechend schön! Dies galt für uns jedoch nicht in Banff National Park. Insbesondere der Lake Louise war noch vollständig zugefroren. ... read more

Getting back to Toronto was pretty interesting. It took a bit of getting used to after being away for so long. I arrived at 6 in the morning, post 6 hours on the bus, still reasonably hung over from the night before. My last night in Quebec had been beer with two Quebecois in a very French bar with very French music and lots of drinking. I had been to this bar over the summer and it was wicked to be there again, in this quaint little place that is located down an alley off an alley from a street in a very European looking alley way, and sitting there in the warm with a beer and the snow whipping around outside. I have been here for two months and in the two months I slept ... read more
