MY WEST COAST EXPERIENCE
This past weekend I went to the west coast, and finally to Long Beach. And boy what a sight. I was also amazed at just how different Ucluelet and Tofino are, for two towns only about 30 km apart.
Although both towns are equal in size with about 2000 people each, Ucluelet has less visitors and more poverty. Tofino is the little tourist town, in which visitors from all over come to surf of course.
Speaking of surfing, there was no way I went to Long Beach and didn't surf. Come on now, you people know me better than that. I did go surfing, and lets just say I had fun. I wasn't brutal, but not great either. Me and Nigel my brother went for a lesson and then a surf. I had the balance and a few good runs at it. The waves are much better than the ones I remember from Mexico when I was there. Apparently the waves are unbelievable in December. It's probably very cold too though, but exhilarating I'm sure. I'd give it a go. It would be a fun road trip.
Instructor: If you've moved away from the shore a bit and are concerned, don't worry, the tide will bring you back in. You won't end up in Japan or anything.
Me and my brother had a good laugh from that little comment. It's obvious that the tide moves in, and that a person would have to go very deep before the tide wouldn't bring them into shore.
This weather has been awesome. My parents, brother and I went to Sproat Lake yesterday, my parents stayed the night, and we all went swimming during the day. It's a great lake nearby, and when the weather reaches 30 degrees the water is tough to avoid.
I'm going to be different, and not do the 100 things about me. If people want to know more about me, just ask. Anyways, I might do my own feature down the road anyways.
