Day 4 vacation cont....


Day 4 was a little rough. It started out ok when we left Jeremy and Kim's house. we were up and out the door by 8:00 am. Jesse drove us up island to check out some little towns along the way.
We stopped in Chemainus. This town is known for it's murals. Almost every store or building in this little town was covered in these huge murals. We got out and walked toward the water to check out the ocean side and search for creatures unknown. The whole trip I searched for starfish but that's another story. While on the beach side I marveled at the size of their seaweed. Everything there seems so super sized. The jelly fish were beyond enormous. After the beach we walked around the town and shopped a little.
We moved on to the town of Nanaimo. Our goal was to do some zip lining. We watched a whole bunch of people bungy jumped from the bridge and at the same time we were both feeling under the weather. It felt like we were coming down with something. We decided at that point to start heading towards Jeff's house. We stopped for a little lunch hoping it would make us feel better and then crashed for a few hours at the house.
When we woke we were almost back to normal. Very strange!! So we met everyone for dinner in downtown Victoria. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the restaurant but the food was excellent. We met Nadia's boyfriend Sam, which we liked very much. I think they are a good match.
Jeremy, Kim and Jeff were also there. After dinner we stopped at one of Jesse's favorite watering holes, Darcy's. Very cool place with a live band.
Jesse and I decide to end the night with a walk along the water back to his dad's house. Nadia gave me the number to the local cab company just in case Jesse had lost his mind... lol The walk was good but I was very tired when we got there. There were some cool sights along the way. More to come....
