Taking the bus to town

Printer-friendly version

During the summer holidays I have made it a habit to go to town once a week to do errands. Riding a public bus is out of the question for some people or  just boring and slow for others. On my bus ride today I had some time for myself, looking out the bus window, up into the sky where white clouds where slowly changing their shapes and I appreciated the fact that I was driven to my destination while I could daydream, oblivious to the traffic around us. It actually felt luxurious. Later on another bus I met some Bowen Islanders I had not seen in a while and a group of German tourists who were off to explore English Bay and Stanley Park. When I return to work, trips to town will again become quick and task oriented affairs where I usually fall asleep on the bus!
