No Starbucks but... something else!

Hullo... last episode found me wandering the streets of downtown Prince George in search of a Starbucks... I kept asking for directions from various Spirit Bears and getting even more lost...

My little feet are tired and I haven't found a single human on these streets. Ohhh... wait... a truck just went by!!! Let's follow it!!

This building looks beary impressive... I wonder if it is a restaurant... maybe a Starbucks?

Ooohhh... it's the new RCMP detachment!!! They have a pretty big detachment because... Prince George is Canada's most dangerous city (per capita). Yup... and... ummm... why are we wandering the streets all by ourselves???

I'm going to go in an ask about Starbucks... (no photos allowed)... too bad I don't have my Mountie uniform! But I do have my Mountie ID...

OK... the short answer... it's "down that way" at the corner of George and 5th. Whew... good directions except... that is way too far away for this little tired bear to walk now!

 I am pooped... and no hot chocolate and... phooie!!!

Wait... what was that... just across the street there is... what?

I don't see anything... or... wait... what is that...

Do you see it???

It's a Tim Horton's!!!

Oooohhhh... I'll have a honey dip donut and a maple dip donut and a honey cruller and....

Mmmm.... back in the hotel room and I can almost taste the donut... mmmm....

... slurp... drool.... huh??? This isn't a donut!!!

 I ordered a donut!!! Where is my donut???

Oh... there it is... he-heh...!

 A honey dip Timmies donut... mmmm.... munch... slurp... drool... mmmm...

For those of you in England who are perplexed by this Timmies thing... you can get a sneak peak this Canada Day!! It's Canada's 150th bearthday and... in celebration... Canada House in London is going to have a pop-up Tim Horton's!!! Check it out!

A Trip to Timmie's and Au Revoir!

Right... before Jerry and Ben leave, we have to make a trip to a true Canadian Icon (even though it's now owned by Wendy's)... a Tim Horton's!!

Mama had us go through the drive-through... probably a good idea... Can you imagine three little bears turned loose in a Timmie's? "Let's see," mused Jerry, "I'll have a dozen honey dip donuts and a maple dip, just to try it. And maybe a sprinkle donut for the flight home..."

"Hey!" protested Ben, "I want something too... move over... "I'll have a dozen honey dip donuts as well and maybe a Boston Creme and...."

Ooohhh... getting closer...

Eh? One tiny bag???

What? ONE honey dip donut???

"This is a joke, right?" "Where are the rest???" "We're hungry!" "What do you mean, 'budget cuts'??" "How can three of us eat one donut???"

Uh... right... three pieces... oh so satisfying.

OK... but are they all equal sizes?? "Me thinks, my piece is smaller," grumbled Jerry.

Bear conference... should we weigh the pieces?

"Maybe we could have a strike, and demand at least 2 more donuts?"

I don't know... "Hey!!!" squeaked Jerry... "there's a piece missing!!!"

Yup... there's a piece missing... and since we both saw Jerry's paws the entire time...

We now know the true culprit behind the disappearing treats!!

But that doesn't help us with the two remaining pieces... And if we dither too long... Mama might steal another piece. But... that's OK... I can always get more Timmies here... so I let Jerry and Ben have their pieces!

Cause... when we got home... it was time to say goodbye...

It was so great having Jerry & Ben here!! "Thanks for having us, Sandy! We had a wonderful time... even if the weather was too rainy for camping... and Winterpeg was too cold to see much..."

Group bear hug. Bye guys!!!
