Tsawwassen (/təˈwɑːsən/; from North Straits Salish: [səˈwɑːsən] or [tsəˈwɑːsən], meaning "facing the ocean") is a suburban, mostly residential community located on a peninsula in the southwestern corner of the Municipality of Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Tsawwassen provides the only road access to the community of Point Roberts, Washington via 56th Street. It is also the location of BC Ferries' Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, built in 1959 to provide foot-passenger and motor vehicle access from the Lower Mainland to the southern part of Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands. Because Tsawwassen touches a shallow bank, the ferry terminal is built at the southwestern end of a 3 km-long causeway that juts out into the Strait of Georgia. The ferry dock and causeway are part of Highway 17. Boundary Bay Airport, a major training hub for local and international pilots, in addition to providing local airplane and helicopter service, is located ten minutes away. The Roberts Bank Superport is also located near Tsawwassen.
Sitting on my front porch watching the sun come up.
Cup of coffee in my hand watching the morning start.
Are you watching the same sun come up thirty-four miles away?
Are you wondering if I'm thinking the exact same way thirty-four miles away?
I've been lying around. I still smell you here.
I've been reading a note that smells like the sun looks.
Isn't it funny how some things can go unchanged for so long?
Next thing you know the day begins again. So do we.
Even though it was the middle of the night I felt the sun come up.
