November

November Sunset

The wonderful part about living near the water is that you get to see some pretty amazing sunsets. The mountains you see in the distance are those of Victoria Island. Of course you have to reach the Island by ferry!Paul and I hope this is one of many pictures that may entice friends and family to come and visit. We missed everyone at Thanksgiving, but we did celebrate it with are friends from the woodworking school.

Paul has started his first project. The following is a sketch drawn by Paul. The school's website has been updated. You should check it out!

The Mock-up Paul has been working on

Paul and the class went to Portland, Oregon to visit a lumber yard. The following are a few pictures Paul took while he was there.

One of the luxuries Paul and I have is access to a crab trap and the ocean to catch as many Dungeness Crab as we can eat.

Fine Dinning

I celebrated my 27th Birthday on the 30th of November. It was a beautiful sunny day. That night we celebrated at a sushi place called Ichiban with a few friends.

The following are pictures of Paul at school. I pulled these pictures from the schools website http://www.insidepassage.ca/ , you should check it out!

Hello Family and Friends,

Paul and I wanted to share with everyone our experiences here in Canada. We are so far away from family and friends and this is such a great way to connect and keep everyone updated. I will be posting pictures of our experiences along with all the wonderful things Paul will make in school. I miss and think of you daily! XOXO

Love,
Paul and Robyn
