After I last posted yesterday, Steve and I went to the little village of Cowichin Bay where we walked around the shops, visited a wooden boat museum, and sampled some of the local fare at the bakery. It's a picturesque little fishing and resort town near where Steve and Christine live.
In the evening we had salmon cooked on cedar planks on the barbecue (yum!), 
and then Steve and Christine taught me how to play Carcassonne. Warning to game players: I'm going to buy it myself, and you will have to play it with me. (More Carcassonne is on the agenda for tonight.)

Then today, we went to visit Victoria. 
It's a lovely port city at the south end of Vancouver Island, and the capital of the province of British Columbia. On the way back we stopped at a scenic overlook where we could see Mt. Baker in northern Washington state.

I'd always thought of B.C. as very rainy, but apparently it's only rainy in the winter. The summers are warm and sunny, with low humidity. It's a great place to live.
Well, I can't believe it's over already, but it's back to Montreal tomorrow!

Well, Dave, I almost wish I would have continued on with you to Vancouver Island! You have seen and done some of the things I would love to do! Gibsons is very quiet, at least here at the end of the road on Elphinstone Mountain! I am enjoying the quiet and the warm sunshine, coolish air. Have a good trip home. Maybe I'll call you later.
