TD: Although I have been to Whistler a few times I have never spent much time in the ‘real’ Canada. At this point in the trip we’ve been from Vancouver Island off the coast to BC through Calgary in Alberta and it has been extremely beautiful everywhere we’ve gone. Having Gaudia with us, her first time RV (or long term camping) experience I am really grateful we’re travelling in Canada and not the US because the services are so much nicer, cleaner, etc.. I have to say the same goes for the people as well. In the US if we were to travel around somewhat randomly like we are now we’d have been in some really scary, dirty, noisy/rowdy places. It’s refreshing to have only seen one set of spinners in the past two months. Gone are the gangsta’s, punks, tough-guys – all the intimidating ‘tribes’ we have in the US. What they do have is genuinely nice, friendly people that keep the place neat and have a high standard for their environment – both natural and man made.
Update: 6/13: Apparently I am not the only one that feels this way. Go Canada! Canada only has a handful of big cities, yet it got 3 of the top 10 most liveable cities in the world including #1: http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2009/06/liveable_vancouver.cfm
