Alone again During week 44 we took some more walks in the forest, dropped our visitors off at the ferry for their flights home and started planning our return to the mainland. How did you spend your week? You can see all photos here.
Onto The Open Road
A thick coating of frost Up before the sun today, heading for the ferry in Nanaimo. It was the coldest we had felt on the island and the usual heavy dew left a thick coating of frost over everything. The fishing gear stowed and our traveling bags packed we quietly loaded the car and hit the […]
One Of Our Favourite Places in Canada
As I sit here staring out at the tide coming in and listening to the waves crash right at our back door my heart rate drops. The lure of staring out at the ocean to catch a glimpse of a sea lion, otter, bald eagle, jumping salmon or even a killer whale has become addictive. […]
Leaving Maui

365 Project – week 42

Homecoming – PECAN/PUMPKIN PIE
Homecoming Touching down in Montreal, it seemed as though we had just left. The European whirlwind was now a memory and while being thankful that we could make it happen, we were a little bummed out. Moving from country to country diving into the local culture and (of course) food was truly a wonderful experience […]
