Today, Bob and I explored some new, to us, areas of the island on a gorgeous September day. We wanted to grab lunch at Deep Cove Market, a grocery/deli which we had read about in a local paper’s Best Of results. We decided that after that, we would explore the Deep Cove area, which is north and west of Sidney.
That seemed like a perfect idea to us,
and we saw a second one on our drive along the coast.
The mountain in the distance is on an island across the cove.
After we drove along the coast, we stopped at Lillian Hoffar Park, which is back in Sidney. This is a very small park, which is basically a trail leading to the Salish Sea near Sidney Harbor (which is different than Sidney Pier near downtown).
with the Tseycum First Nation.
The Hoffar family were prominent boat builders
and donated the land for the park.
Our time in Sidney is drawing to a close. We will be leaving Tuesday morning to head to Tofino on the west side of the island for a few days before starting our next housesit.
