Two weeks And Counting


Two weeks today and I will be dining el fresco with my mother in Victoria with just one more sleep before leaving the next day on the Victoria Clipper to Seattle. My day job will be behind me for 5 or 6 weeks. I am practically ready to leave right now. My pack is packed and we are getting acquainted. It looks like it will weigh in at about 20 lbs.... very respectable indeed. I have packed everything I need including the kitchen sink.... literally. Oddly enough one of my perceived needs is to have a vessel to soak my feet in. So I bought one from an outdoor store in Victoria.
No walking on the trail today with my backpack... Instead I had a wonderful breakfast at T's with my new friend Sulaika and then an afternoon at my favourite, somewhat secret swimming hole with another friend Lorraine and tonight I am kayaking with my landlady Diana, setting out from in front of my cabin to explore the estuary. I suspect the next two weeks will pass by swiftly. I so look forward to leaving Campbell River and CRTV where I work behind.... for now. Enough said about that.....

Summer is at its finest now and when I return at Thanksgiving we will be fully ensconced in autumn. Sigh.
