The Eagle Has Landed-Prince Rupert BC

We did it! We crossed the continent of North America-arriving at the coastal town Of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. I've traveled lots of roads but the one to Rupert-along the Skeena River-is the # 1. Coming into town we were excited-saw an eagle. In town we almost flipped- they were everywhere-hundreds of eagles- like sparrows in Quakertown. Apparently there is a recession in "eagleland"-an old timer said, "if ya really gotta see them birds-go to the city dump". Sure enough, the food pantry was open.

Another bonus was that July 1st is Canada Day-like our fourth of July. They celebrate breaking away from British Rule. The town was alive with bands, booths and First Nation Dancing (Native Americans). We tried a lot of native foods-fry bread (wonderful) seaweed (good) but nothing like "Shady Maple"!
