Enjoying Chemainus (10/3/23)

We are already into the 3rd day of the 10th month of this year. Where does the time go (my monthly question)? Sunday (10/1) Bob and I went to the Chemainus Theater for an afternoon performance of “The Fiancé,” a farce about a girl who gets engaged to 3 men before they go off to war and they all come back on the same day. It was a fun show, and we enjoyed seeing the lovely theater, poking around the great gift store/art gallery, and having a glass of wine at intermission in the cozy Fireside Lounge. They also have a dining area for combo dinner and theater tickets. The theater was full. We would definitely go back for another show!

The Chemainus Theater

Yesterday brought some much needed rain, nice and steady for most of the day. We ran a few errands and did some work online. Today, we headed a bit farther south (about 30 minutes) to walk along a different part of the Cowichan Valley Trail (CVT) at a trailhead in Glendora Trails Head Park near the town of Duncan. We just did a couple of out and backs out of the park and were once again surrounded in green, but we also got to check out an old railroad trestle, one of many along the CVT.

We were headed to the Holt Creek Trestle,
although we walked at least a mile past it
and then another 1.5 miles in the other direction.
