A bank note from surreal Miriland where two oysters would trade for one cup of coffee.
When it dawned on me that Oyster River Studio was held in Cumberland, south of Oyster River:
I may not have gotten to know Oyster River but Cumberland is a small town with a history in mining. As one lady remarked, "You won't find nice Kitsilano Victorian houses here, most of these houses were built to be simple accomodations for the miners." The mines has since closed and younger generations have moved in, but still, Cumberland remained a quietly thriving town (with the occasional motorist's engine roaring outside the hostel). More to post.
