So here I am on vacation unplugged from the world and completely off the grid.
Okay...almost completely off the grid.
There are still flushing toilets here and running water although the lights are run off battery power which makes for interesting shadow puppets.
But no television nor Internet nor cell service.
However if you perch precariously on the rooftop of your car you can, if you are lucky, pick up a single internet bar. And if, whilst up there, still perched precariously upon the car roof, you put one hand on your hip and your opposite leg on your other legs knee and stand up really straight and pivot slowly while humming a pretty melody such as Swan Lake, you can get as many as three bars.
I don't recommend it though. Strangers started clapping and throwing precious pink roses when I did it. I can only assume they thought I was immitating a ballerina in a musical box. I of course didn't spoil that illusion by pointing out that my creative yoga pose on top of the car was a desperate and crazy attempt to search for Internet access.
Yes...that is what off the grid does to a person.
Actually, I must say...Tofino is really cool. No really, it's freezing. Bone chillingly cold. And I have to keep this post really short because I have to find a place that sells long johns for a not so tofinoish looking price. Besides...there is a half naked women next to me begging us to drive her to get her "I survived surfing lessons" sticker... But more on that later! Bye for now!
