SEAFOOD, SALT AND SMOKE

 We enjoyed our time on Vancouver Island. We were there to visit family. The smoke did put a damper on the the nice scenery we would normally see. However, we have been on the island before and will go again in the future. Both ferry rides were boring as zero visibility!




We had three meals out and this one was on the water at Cowichan Bay, unfortunately, no mountain in the background and can't see the ships usually anchored out in the distance.



We used to own a Three Buoys Houseboat but not with the cool siding on the side. This is down in Victoria where all the awesome floating cottages are. 






A cool name for a whale watching boat in Victoria!



The lights on the Provincial Parliament Buildings here in Victoria are so lovely. There are over 3,000 lights.


If you don't need your car on a ferry, this one takes passengers from Victoria to Vancouver (and back). Such a beautiful ferry. 

We ate two seafood dinners here in Victoria but wish the smoke would have left before we left, but that did not happen. Vancouver and Portland were both in the news as the air quality was so bad that it was worse than India. 

We have now left Vancouver Island and Victoria. We are slowly travelling back to Ontario. We have many more places to see and family/friends to visit.
