My 2 Worlds

I am in the middle of transitioning back to the States for the Fall and Winter and am fully realizing the different mindsets, accessories and quirks that come with working @ Malibu.  Below are some of the differences between the 2 places that I live and love.

Malibu | Bellingham 

VHF radio | iPhone        

walk everywhere | drive most everywhere

days only have numbers | days have names and calendar dates

slow satellite internet | lightening fast internet

leave 5 min before needing to be anywhere | leave 30 min before needing to be anywhere

carry pocket knife everywhere | no need really for a pocket knife.  ever. 

beware of bears and cougars |  beware of cats and dogs
food comes in by boat...limited options | unique and diverse grocery and dining options  

is this real life?

 

I work in one of the most beautiful places in the world.  It's true.  It's extraodrinary.  It's spectacular.   It's God's handiwork.   The following pictures are of a day off adventure to Secret Cove, up the Jervis Inlet in the Hunaechin area.  We hiked through the woods, making loud noises to ward off any grizzlies and then waded a ways up this stream to the end, which is where these waterfalls and pools are found.  Incredible.  Indescribable.  Our God is good and so creative.

A few days later, some of our staff saw 4 orca whales in the inlet.  So we loaded in boats in search of these creatures...

And find them we did...
