When You Feel The Sting Of Being Left Out

I need to go back into my mental health bag for this blog post, and I want to talk about a feeling that I had been occasionally having that gives me great grief on some nights. I would normally talk about this with my therapist, but because I do not want to pay the $160 for an hour long session, and no one else would want to hear about my problems for free, I am going to talk about it here on this blog post. Strap yourself in, because this is going to be a bumpy one.

A Quick Stop In The Mountain Town Of Jasper, Alberta

While on VIA Rail's "The Canadian" from Vancouver to Toronto, there were extended stops where we could walk around for a specified period of time. There were two places where we were able to get off the train and stretch our legs, and I will talk about one of those places. We got to explore the municipality of Jasper in Alberta for about an hour. I have never been to Jasper before, and it was nice to be in a mountain town with the picturesque setting of the Rocky Mountains surrounding it. People come to Jasper primarily for tourism, including exploring Jasper National Park.

The Culinary Offerings of VIA Rail's "The Canadian"

As you already know, I went on the train trip of a lifetime when I traveled from Vancouver to Toronto on VIA Rail's "The Canadian". Although the overall experience itself was less-than-stellar, the best highlight while travelling on this train was the food. I want to use this post to show off some of the different food options that I had while on "The Canadian". These are mostly going to be vegetarian and fish dishes, with a couple of meat dishes thrown in. As you will see, the presentation of these meals are top-notch.

Capilano Suspension Bridge: Vancouver’s High-Priced Attraction

I did a tourist thing while I was in Vancouver, and that is to go check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This was something I always seen people check out whenever they were in Vancouver for the first time, and so I wanted to check it out as well, at a great cost to my wallet. We went right when the park opened, so the attraction was not busy at all, which was fantastic.
