In the past 10 days, we have settled into a small community just south of Duncan. At first, we were parked in our friends' driveway; yesterday we moved into a beautiful campground. We plan to stay put for a few weeks.
The Daughter and Her Boyfriend flew back to Calgary a week ago. It was Daughter's first flight - and when she mentioned that to the agent checking them in, they were given a free upgrade. They got home safely, and Daughter enjoyed flying.
This part of Vancouver Island is gorgeous. The Trans-Canada highway is close, but we're in a rural area with winding roads and lovely scenery. Our friends - where we parked for a few days - are in a mobile home park (the park is only a 7 minute drive from the campground, btw); but even there, nature is nearby. In fact, Kirk went for a walk one morning at dawn and saw a young black bear feasting on wild blackberries. (No animals or humans were harmed - the bear ran away as soon as he spotted Kirk.) We've also seen lots of deer around. So many that going barefoot is a bad idea - there's deer poop everywhere.
We'd love to post lots and lots of pictures, but ... we're having camera issues. At the moment, our only functioning cameras are the ones in our cell phones - they work, but its just not the same.
So, that's about it for now.
