After the month of May in Canada from Vancouver Emma travelled South to the USA and sunny California. Wine country, the Charlie Brown Museum in Santa Rosa, more culture, more trees and a beloved city, San Francisco… Emma is uploading the WhatsApp blog she wrote for family and friends below as she goes… Please keep returning here to catch the unfolding story – and click here for the next instalment of June-July.

Hi all, I’m on the train again. Today I left beloved Canada and crossed the border into the USA. Can you see the damp stars n stripes hanging there? It’s raining..!
However, I am headed in this direction…
I’ve just spent a couple of days in Vancouver, a beautiful city, doing more art and cycling the perimeter of Stanley Park. I even got to swim in the outdoor pool. It’s not often I get to see herons flying overhead when swimming!
Yesterday was my last day in Canada and I spent it close to home, in the suburb of Burnaby where I was staying, where there was a local festival going on – the Hats Off Day festival.
I’m not normally interested in old cars but these things were pretty cool.
As I travel away south now I look back at my time in Canada very fondly. It was quite a month. I feel sad to be leaving my birth land where I have had such a good time, but excited too to be heading south to the next part of my adventure. Tomorrow morning I will arrive in San Francisco, a city I love, where I will be met by a friend and staying with her in wine country in California, as well as doing a few days in the city itself. Before heading further south for the real centre of this trip, a month-long training at theSchool of Lost Borders.
I’m making the most of every moment as I don’t get in this neck of the woods very often. Who knows when I’ll be here again?
I hope all is well with you with whatever you are doing, wherever you are. Good adventuring and life-living to us all. Love Emma xx
