What an exciting day! We go to see the Total Solar Eclipse in the morning and a pod of whales at Pipers Lagoon in the afternoon. Beautiful Island Life 🙂

Our first night in Nanaimo – Newcastle Island is in the background.

The gondola, which takes about ten minutes, drops you on the edge of a mountain with breath-taking views at dizzying heights.  A beautiful day trip from Vancouver.

A lovely visit to a lovely University on a lovely day.

Taking a little break after missing the ferry to Nanaimo.  9:07am to 3:15pm…  Should have left at 9:06.  Welcome to Island Life.

We are approaching our last month in Vancouver. Evan has already finished his last day at work and mine is coming up this week.

Our challenge for the next month: A photo a day to share with you how we are transitioning into a new life on Vancouver Island. Enjoy!
