Powell River Finale

Tonight is our last evening at the Hummingbird B&B in Powell River, B.C.  This has been a great stay - fun, relaxing, and an opportunity to meet some very nice people.  Our hosts have invited us to join their family here - both daughters and their families - for dinner tonight.  It promises to be a wonderful night.

I am again sitting on the deck, overlooking the inland sea, watching the ferries and other boats race by on their way to where-ever.  The sun is still fairly high above the horizon - it is only 7:30 pm, after all - and we are just chilling.  Lee took a few more videos around the place, which I'll post after he's had a chance to edit them.

Today had very little to report:  it was a do laundry, shop a bit, lay low kinda day.  We looked through a few art galleries - the arts have tremendous support up here and it's easy to see why.  There is some beautiful work done here.

So, it is with a bit of regret that we get ready to leave here.  We've met several marvelous people who have made this place a favorite - we could both easily be convinced to return for another visit.

If you get the chance and want to see a great picture of what is happening in Redding right now, my good friend Diane Elrick started blogging about the fires.  Her picture is definitely worth a thousand words.  The link for her blog is:  http://deelrick.blogspot.com

We head out on the ferry to Comox, Vancouver Island at noon tomorrow.  Until later hope everyone is well.
