we were off! leaving the mainland behind!
the weekend of the 23/24 of april ( i know - its been over a week ago!!) we traveled to north vancouver island for a trunk show. after a 1 and a 1/2 hour ferry ride, we then journey four hours drive north through mountains almost as far as you can go. it is relaxing and peaceful!
jayme and i insisted on a beach combing excursion - highly successful too! as we left the rocky beach we spotted this crazy hand carved driftwood - that reminds me of a tiki man...but is probably a rough carving that could be the beginnings of a novice carvers totem pole!!
our favorite highlight - as we drove through the mountain pass was a medium size (maybe 350 pounds) black bear. he was foraging through the ditch and just stopped and looked at us a few moments before lumbering on!! i have lived 30 years in this pacific northwest.southwestern b.c. region..and have finally spotted a bear!!
davida (left), the shop owner was also traveling back to vancouver - and is caught here catching up on the weeks gossip!!
a very fond farewell to vancouver island..but we will be back!!
