Day 00 - Nanaimo preamble

The Fall Trip Preamble Starts. In Nanaimo. Wendy is playing hockey. Ella and Russ enjoy morning coffee at the beach.

Are we done yet?

The morning walk takes us into Neck Point Park, which has remnants of a massive estate.

The coastal trail winds past little coves

Look!! Your codpiece is showing!!

Down the beach at Piper's Lagoon, it seems none of Nanaimo's children go to school. No, this is not a school outing. Just kids and Moms.

The ducks in the lagoon may need chasing.

Deep inside Colliery Dam Park, bugs of unknown origin lurk.

The World Famous Cement Canoes of Nanaimo.

The Giant Snare Tree awaits its prey.

An old, old tradition: Foto Pilic. The picture with the most chickens wins.

Detail from picture above. I count at least 6 chickens.
