We made it to Surrey yesterday, and had a lovely Christmas meal with family of our friends (who are basically adopted family at this point)
The drive was a bit sketchy along the Coquihalla with multiple smashed semi-trucks along the shoulders as warnings to drive slow. But after 2 back-to-back blizzards in Saskatchewan right before we left, it was pretty manageable.
First impression of the lower mainland after not being here for 6 years: holy cow it's green here!!
A view of temperate rainforest wild parkland, with lots of moss on everything. It's super wet, and the sky is grey above.
Looking along a muddy, slushy highway road with lots of snow on the sides toward a somewhat smashed semi-truck on the shoulder up ahead. There are tall pines on both sides of the road with snow, and tall mountains. The sky above is blue with some clouds
