Abraham Lake

Was surprised how huge the lake is and yet the turquoise color is so brilliant! Even better than Lake Louise or Emerald Lake! Maybe similar to Moraine Lake?

Climbed out through the windows to the balcony (yes, Canadians are good at house design) and shot this. The patch of green in front of the skyscrapers across the harbour is Stanley Park (something like our botanic gardens... only bigger).

That was how it looked like from inside. Pieces of glass. I thought must have a hole from outside. Lucky still not so bad.

Previously experienced passenger side window shatter when hit by rock at corner while driving. Pieces of glass were dropping off rhe shatteree window that time.

Hope the windshiele holds till I get back to Calgary tomorrow.

I have not had mangosteen for decades.
I prefer moon cakes with white lotus seed paste without egg yolks. Red bean paste is also good.

Try Costco @Charlie99

The Columbian mangosteens were surprisingly some of the best I have ever had. Sweet and fleshy.

T&T sells some mooncakes from Hong Kong. Very expensive. Like for 4 mooncakes $80+.

I find Costco ones $20 for 6 reasonable. But i didnt buy. Cos only one eating is me. So just get fat.

Steep climb down to the base of waterfall.

Turnoff to falls can be easily missed. So people build cairns. Or put big rocks.

This video appeared in my youtube feed. An entire family living off-grid in canada. Amazing, but very expensive.

Didn't say what he does. Was hoping you'd know where this is. Anyway, something to aspire to. Can get away from fucked up people.
