Although not a huge football fan I watched a few matches and felt the heartbreak Brazil experienced. But on the global stage the host country excelled at presenting the spectacle from a great venue. Rio welcomed the world and future Tourism will increase.

My apologies for any comments or messages I may have deleted unanswered. To anyone wondering what the hold up is, well the forest is a complex area to search. But as BC’s back country continues to dry out and in some areas burn, I know I need to keep moving before more fires or threats of close the area in question. Back tomorrow with as much optimism as ever. As the haystack is further reduced in size, the needle will be found. I can’t help but wonder what past forest fires may have done to alter the scenario.
