Island Dinner and Party

living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com

We took a stroll down to the local museum yesterday.   There is a small fishing boat in front and a machine that pulled down trees.  The parking lot was empty and no visitors inside so we passed on a tour.  We headed for the center of Campbell River and walked into the visitor's center.   They were so friendly and helpful.  They had an interesting push pin map on the wall.   Someone from Monterrey had been in Campbell River before us.  Not many Americans, but the European map was overloaded and no more room for pins.

They provided us with some maps of the Kamloops and Kelowna areas and we found some possible places to stay along the way.   Home Depot will be on our list of stops similar to Walmart overnighting but with wifi.  Sounds pretty good.   Everyone here is nice and very friendly.  

It has been raining off and on so when we returned back home we took a short nap.  Later on, Croft and Norma's on Brooks, his wife Linda and her mother Janice came over for dinner.  They had picked up some clams and scallops.   While we were having happy hour and a chat, Brooks' best friend called from up the street and had already made a big spread and invited us to come up; clams, huge shrimp, salmon, corn of the cob, cole slaw and more.   Jason has a hilltop house and the view is incredible.   We watched the cruise ships come and go as the sun went down.

 

We headed back to Croft's around 10:30 and we got into a deep discussion about everything and we stopped at 2 a.m.   We're up now and Brooks is fixing West Coast Bennies or eggs benedict with salmon.

We won't be going back to Vancouver today as we missed the boat and it is better to pay another day of storage on the rv.   We will head to Hope tomorrow on our way to Clearwater.
