Visiting cousin Barb in Nanaimo

We left Victoria and drove north, stopping for lunch in Chemainus. We got to Nanaimo and enjoyed 2days visiting with Charlotte's cousin Barb and her husband Rob.  We had a great time sightseeing on Salt Spring Island and around Nanaimo. We especially enjoyed the company of Simon and Roxy, their two cute dogs.

Lots of West coast native art to see.

Salt Spring Island was less developed than we expected, but had lots of beautiful visas.
