...the Escapea is at the bottom right (nearerst the camera), I (the moog) was taking the photo (with Skibunny's camera to make things more confusing)...so I'm not in it either!

Hopefully Sans, Mr Sans, the Moog and anyone else not on the pic will be on Adbru's pics that he's gonna post when he gets back...

Well except Adbru hiding behind the camera - may be we should have a competition to draw his portrait so he doesn't miss out and Adbru can judge the best?

Jempee...I know the feeling... I was really excited waiting for my sister to get off the ferry in Swartz Bay and as we saw it drawing in I felt tearful too, happy tearful though(probably not as much as I will at the end though...)

The dog was even more excited when he saw her and kept leaping in the air (lots of kissylicks!)

Jane is really liking the Island, weather is fab so makes it great...we swam in the potholes at Sooke Tuesday (so did the dog)...we saw the seals at Whitties Lagoon (Metchosin) (but I got bitten by mosquitos 5 times in 10 minutes which I've never had there before...or even on the Island in fact)...and walked along Whiffin Spit

...going to try an afternoon of sailing tomorrow
...might do Moss St market Sat, there's symphony splash Sunday, Tofino etc etc

So much to do!
Hope your sister has a fab time too

Sounds like your sister is enjoying being here. Mine is not interested in 'scenery and looking at things!!' so we may have a few difficulties she is fast asleep at the mo on the sofa! As her youngest is 2 we will properly be doing the petting zoo and BC forest train park. Hopefully lots of swimming/beach time if i can convince them its safe to swim in!

Me and Rob walked up to the top of Cobble hill's hill and was complete cannon fodder for the mozzies the other evening, but def worth the view.

Have fun and maybe see you around
