You're fast Mike! I will post photos from that party when we get home and get them loaded.

Just so our Gentle Readers know, the first picture in Mikey's line up was actually the last picture-I'm covered in "tattoos" at that point. The artist being my lovely daughter, who got bored and decided she needed to draw. Seeing as how there was no paper (actually, I'm sure Mike would have provided some) she chose me as her canvas.

I have photos loaded partly now, but they go back in time to Wednesdsay, July 28th. We're about to head back towards White Rock (in about 15 minutes!), so what better time to post about our arrival there.



We approached the border in the late morning.





There was essentially no line to get into Canada, but you should have seen the line up to get out! This surprises me, as after visiting Canada, I don't want to leave!

Here's the view while awaiting the crossing.


Great landscaping.





The Peace Arch.





Once over the border, we were informed that B.C. Canada is...



We agree!

We visited with Jamie's grandparents in White Rock, staying with his aunt and uncle, right across the street from the beach and promenade (which his uncle designed-the promenade that is, not the beach!).

We swam in the beautiful, warm, shallow waters all afternoon. We saw jelly fish, regular fish, a crab and a log was captured by the children. No pics of this idyllic time, bacause Jamie was too paranoid to take the camera out into the water (and I agreed!)



Here's the White Rock










We went for a nice walk along the promenade (leaving the kids with their great aunt and uncle)







And we got two new birds (a Mew Gull and a Ringbilled Gull)

Here's the fearless hunter, scanning the horizon for birds.





Everyone we passed was so nice and friendly! We got many comments of "Hey, Macleod!"



There was a young man balancing rocks along the shoreline.








That's all we have of White Rock. Next up will be Victoria, but those photos are not yet loaded and we have to start our run down the coast. We'll be home in 2 days, so I'll be on again then!

Be well,

Star
