They found our house at about 1:00 and we spent a couple of hours catching up before heading downtown for a feed of Fish and Chips at Dicks' restaurant on the dock. It is always a great feed at Dicks, complete with 60's music. Dick and I met years ago when we were both called up (and rejected) for jury duty. After dinner we went home for more catching up and maybe a vodka y hielo (or three).
Friday morning we made a breakfast of eggs and hash browns and relaxed a bit before heading to Painter's Lodge and their free water taxi service over to their sister resort of April Point Lodge on Quadra Island. There is a very nice patio there where we had wine (them), beer (me) and lunch. It was threatening rain but none actually fell until we were just finishing eating. They pulled a large umbrella over to protect us for the last few minutes.
This morning we had waffles with bananas, blueberries and strawberries before the guys headed off to visit the Campbell River museum. Brooks, LindaLee and LindaLee's mom will be arriving later this afternoon and a feed of fresh Manila Clams is on the menu. We are really enjoying this visit and it is giving us a chance to repay some of the hospitality Chris and Juan have shown us over the years in Mexico.
Great visit with your friends. April Point Lodge is one of our favourite lunch spots when we go to Quadra Island. We like to stay at the Tsa Kwa Luten Lodge though....!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are all having a great time, too bad the sun wasn't out a little bit more for you. Lunch looked delicious BTW!
