Althea and I stole away from Powell River and Brian and TaZzi for three days. We drove the side kick, and of course took many ferries to Vancouver Island I had been to Victoria years ago for just a short time. The Island is so much more than Victoria. Our first stop was to see friends we know in Baja and as you can see from their faces...it was a surprise to them that we were there. Jim is a builder and they were putting on the final touches for their new home Love that yellow!. We only wanted to stop with our greetings since we were right in their area. It's a lovely property.

Our next stop was in Victoria to see Althea's 97 year mother. We had a nice long chat with her and I bought some of her note cards that she still creatively makes and sells. What a together woman and she still is so sharp.
After we left her, we met up with Althea's brother and sister-in-law (no pictures) at a local pub. We then took a short drive to their beautiful home. It was so nice to meet so much of Althea's family.
