We have been really busy of late so I am way behind on my blogging. We have lots of catching up to do so here goes...The day after Dana flew home to Ontario we had more visitors. Darlene and Ian, very dear friends added a visit to Qualicum Beach to the end of their Alaska cruise. Disembarking from the cruise in Vancouver, they caught a ferry over to Victoria, rented a car and drove north for a three day stay. It's absolutely wonderful to catch up with old friends, but lots to say in only 3 days!
We combed the beach at low tide, picking up some treasures, (among them a flower stone) and walked the forest trails. All "shopped and toured" out from their cruise Darlene and I an were content to take in some of the more natural sights and sounds, a walk around the Air Park in Courtenay, the Comox Harbor and the Goose Spit. Yeah, not too exciting, but scenic at least.
Above: Comox Harbor. Below: views across the water at the (still) snow covered mountains and the Comox glacier. Sadly, my pictures don't do these vistas justice. Maybe you just have to smell the sea and feel the icy breeze off the mountains at the same time as the sun warms your skin.
3 days passed in a flash and it was time to go. Hey guys, it was a great visit. Come back soon!
