8/26/13
Joy and I departed the motorhome this morning for a day in Vancouver about
60 miles away using our Jeep. We stopped at
Stanley Park (an island between downtown and North Vancouver across the Fraser
River. Rain threatened later today
but we made the best of it walking along the harbor downtown and circling
Stanley Park. We enjoyed a
wonderful lunch near the seaplane docks at Whistler Brewing Company.
On the way home Joy had to stop at Swiss Chalet (a
rotisserie restaurant we discovered on an earlier trip thru eastern provinces)
for some chicken for dinner. The
area around Chilliwack, BC where we are staying is very much like the central
valley of California with abundant produce including corn, hazelnut orchards,
all kinds of berries, and vegetables.
Fresh sweet corn is on the menu for tonight.
Tomorrow morning we will return to the United States via the
Suma, Washington US Customs checkpoint.
We will be in Mt. Vernon, Washington for the next two nights while our
coach gets some much needed lubrication and minor maintenance at the
Freightliner shop before we continue our homeward journey.
