  + The trash cans have a recycling area on the side of the container.
  + Flowery patterns on crosswalks.
  + Electrical junction boxes are laminated with paintings

  + Victoria has a walk to discover art works on light poles, walls and other search and find places.
  + Local artist Susan Point even has her designs on the tree wells in Seattle. Lovely work.

Met up with many travel mates from Antarctica to Sri Lanka and had my birthday in the mountains with a mate from SE Asia. I love my life and my friends.

Forgot to say that the border into Canada was a nightmare, thought I was in the TV program - Border Patrol.  The agent just didn't want me to come in.  I finally said, that's enough when she wanted see my bank account.  Good thing the bus waited.  Whew, not since I was entering the Soviet Union has it been that bad.  Hummm
