Notes: This morning, we welcomed our newest teammate, Jim Magdych, who will be with us from now until our return to NoCal. We’re all excited to have Jim along, and we know his sense of humor will help keep us laughing for the rest of our journey. Welcome aboard, Jim!
After meeting Jim, we all donned our new North Face jackets for a standup interview with Vancouver’s City TV. Nick, Nancy, and Todd gave interviews, and they filmed the Land Rovers. After that, we had another interview with Channel 9. Both went well. Somehow, those interviews took most of the day, and then the team was left to their own devices. Nick and Nancy had an unbelievably delicious dinner at a local restaurant called Bouzyos, The Greek Taverna. We met Iva, Melanie, Natalie, Debbie, and owner John. John bought a couple of rounds, and we enjoyed some wonderful Canadian/Greek hospitality. I’m still dreaming about that delicious meal. Tomorrow, we have a visit with Land Rover Richmond in B.C., followed by some car cleaning. | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
