Coming to the End of Island Time (10/6/24)

It’s crazy to think that we will be leaving Vancouver Island on Tuesday to begin an 8-day drive across the US before driving back into Canada in Ontario, a little Canadian province swap with a US filler.

In the meanwhile, we are taking in the last days with the wiley Ws. Wall-E and Willow are sweet cats, who love their food, their naps, and chilling with us in the evening. We will definitely miss Willow’s curiousness and Wall-E’s thoroughness in ensuring all food bowls have been emptied.

Yesterday, we spent a couple of hours poking in and out of the downtown shops, walking down towards the water, and picking up toppings for a red fife (new grain for us) pizza dough that we had bought at the great bakery in Cowichan Bay.

Today, we drove out to Stocking Creek Park to do a couple hour hike on the very impressive 101 kilometer Cowichichan Valley Trail. We walked from the park in Saltair back towards Chemainus.
