There's something magical about local festivals. And no, I don't mean music festivals! I'm talking about cultural festivals celebrating community, indigenous history and traditions, and spiritual beliefs. I've been lucky enough to attend several such festivals. Three of the best are Guelaguetza in Oaxaca, Mexico, Candelaria in Puno, Peru, and the Pushkar Camel Fair in Pushkar, India. All three are highlighted in the latest blog post: Fantastic Fiestas: three of the world's great festivals. Link in bio.

It’s a beach that goes on forever. We start wearing sandals because the land edge is a bit rough underfoot, but once past that there’s bare-foot freedom before us, this open space, this soft sandy invitation, this journey to the edge of the earth, way way out there. We walk north first, straight towards the mountains until we reach deep open water nearly a kilometre away where the cargo ships wait. It’s practically a Vancouver institution. If the sun’s shining, or even if it isn’t (which, being Vancouver is often the case), when the tide is out at Spanish Banks it’s time to go to the beach!
