You were on your way to meet your family on the mainland for a birthday when we met on the ferry deck from Nanaimo to Vancouver. You? A long haired ginger fella with an interesting past and mad cooking skills. Me? A short haired blond traveling gal who had way too much stuff for my trip (a big blue backpack!) and a weakness for cherries. We took the bus into town together. You are too awesome not to track down.
