Fishing and Stargazing

Friday night Sara and I drove over to Cameron lake to watch the sunset there. Cameron lake is an idyllic, quiet spot surrounded by mountains on all sides. Simply beautiful and other than a floating dock, to which Sara, her cousin heather and I swam to, completely untouched by man. The water is clear and calm and the sun reflects of its surface as if it were a mirror (See the pictures below). After we watched the sun go down we drove back to Sara's street and right passed the house until the end of the road. Here we climbed onto the roof of our car and stared into the eternal starlit sky. Here I must elaborate for my readers that live in Germany, that when you look into the sky, you don't even see a tenth of the stars, I could see the Milky Way with my bare eyes (again see pictures below).

Saturday Sara's uncle, grandfather, father and I went out fishing in the ocean, the first good catch of the day, was really heavy, broken the reel I was working so I had to wind the reel manually, turned out to be kelp and a large rock. After about 6 hours out on sea we did catch one Salmon worth keeping which I then cleaned out under instruction of Sara's mom. After it was cleaned we filleted it and pulled most of the bones out (this all happened Sunday) and finally threw on the barbecue. It tasted awesome.

Tomorrow's the big day!

Tomorrow morning at 7 am local time, 1pm in Germany and 10am on Vancouver Island, I will be boarding my flight to Calgary and then onwards to Victoria. It feels like I have been waiting for this forever, however it has only really been just shy of two months! I am very excited about this adventure and ready, at least I think so, for it. So here I go on an adventure. I so psyched that I can share it with you no matter where you are!

My Last Post in Germany

Hey guys,
This is gonna be my last post in Germany! Tomorrow morning at 6.15 I will be leaving for Frankfurt International Airport (Not Frankfurt Hahn Airport, little shout out to Dad, Dan and Bhreagh) with parents, Micah follows on the 8th due to University exams.
My flight leaves at noon but due to the 3 hour a head of time Check-in I have to be at the Airport for 9, but I am going with my parents, who's flight leaves an hour earlier, hence Luke arrives four hours ahead of his flight's departure (YAY). I have a 5 hour overlay tomorrow in Chicago hopefully I will have time to post some more.
I will miss Germany and all who have left me with food for thought, whether it be to aspire to be like them or to learn from their shortcomings. It's been great Germany and it's not you it's me. Sometimes great things come to an end. Yet more often then not better things are to follow.

Because there were no pictures in my last post.
