Let's Go Places: Nanaimo, Parksville, Tofino, and Ucluelet, British Columbia

 


Friends, it's time to close out the Big Beautiful British Columbia trip.  It's Friday afternoon, we've been here just over a week, and after the weekend we'll be going home.  What could there possibly be left to see?

Answer: a beach binge!!!  We're going to see things this weekend that will make everything that we've seen up to now on this trip look ugly in comparison.  Weather wise, the temperature was the ideal "warm enough for shorts, not warm enough to break a sweat".

Let's Go Places: Victoria, British Columbia

 


Picking up the Big British Columbia saga from last time, it's now Thursday morning.  It's time for us to pack up and leave Vancouver behind for Victoria, which is the provincial capital.  We're going to see how it stacks up to Vancouver and see if visiting Canadian provincial capitals in any way compares to visiting US state capitals.

Picking it up from last time, it's time to lead the Big City life for a few days.  Today we're going to Vancouver, which is the 3rd largest city in Canada (after Toronto and Montreal).

Let's Go Places (And Meet People!): Kelowna, British Columbia

 

The last time we talked, I had just left Bridal Veil Falls.  After a drive through the most gorgeous mountains you have ever seen, I arrived in Kelowna and turned onto Boyhouse Street.
