Not Your Stepping Stone


Here Thomas teaches Frederick how to hurl large stones. Frederick picked up the skill worryingly quickly. This beach was stunning: the water was crystal clear and the stones were an unbelievable variety of quartz. And best of all, we were the only ones there. Later, at another beach, a lady who claimed to be "from BC" (I can only assume she meant British Columbia) asked what I thought of this little slice of Canada. I told her I thought it was truly stunning and was surprised that it is not more well-known. She answered with a knowing smirk, "Well, you know why that is don't you?" "No, why?" I asked. "Because," she answered, " no one knows about it." So there you are.
