Vancouver, 24 hour train journey, San Francisco

Again, struggling with getting online, so this is going to be done from memory, could be sketchy. VAncouver was fun, stayed with a friend called Mike, who is going to be travelling with me in SOuth America, we'll meet up on the 26th November in Costa Rica. Anyway, his place had flooded so we stayed at his friends place, occupied by 4 gnarly skate dudes, who drink beer, gamble and smoke bongs when not skateboarding or working. As such, friday night consisted of beer, vodka, bongs and playing dice, which i managed to win at twice and overall not get completely fleeced. Saturday day was down at the track, again lost money but only about $5. In the evening we went on a party boat which cruised around the bay paying drum and bass and lasted 4 hours, by the end it was rocking and the party continued at Shine nightclub, and ended with 3 slices of pizza and a hot dog at 4am on the way home.
On Sunday we drove up to Whistler, a couple of hours up the mountain. Not quite cold enough for snow yet so the season hadn't started for skiing, butit was a great trip to see the immense natural beauty of the mountains, waterfalls and nature in general (we saw a real live bear in the wild on the side of the road, Mike pulled over and tried to attract its attention, which luckily he didn't!) .
Stayed in a hotel, went to a club and then back to Vancouver the next day. Gotta go now, out of time at the library. To be continued......
