Our Mexican friends Chris and Juan are crossing the border today and will be catching the ferry to the Island Thursday morning. It is starting to rain so I checked the forecast on the Internet and they are predicting "light showers" for the foreseeable future. Not a very nice welcome for first time visitors to Canada!
We had a few fun things planned to do with them. Dick's Fish and Chips down on the dock, a water taxi ride over to April Point on Quadra Island for lunch on their beautiful deck and an ice cream cone on the Campbell River Fishing Pier.
Rain is not what we need! Maybe there will be breaks in the rain long enough to do a couple of these things. It is too bad, we have been bragging about our home for years and now they are here they will not see the area at it's best.
Oh well, it's not called "The Wet Coast" for nothing.

They will see the area at its usual. ;)
ReplyDeleteHopefully better than your winter here, Rae.
DeleteWell said Rae! Have I mentioned to you why I moved to Kelowna, Croft?
DeleteCroft, I had a wonderful winter at your place as long as I don't think about the weather part of it. ;)
DeleteRain or not, I'd love to see the place. When you are landlocked in the middle of the continent like we are it is hard to get good, fresh seafood. Man, I'd love some good, fresh seafood. I'd even buy the beer.
ReplyDeleteCome on up Bill, we will throw another live crab in the pot.
DeleteYou do realize that Canadian beer is quite expensive?
DeleteA few showers shouldn't dampen the spirits of your visitors. Heck, who knows, they might actually welcome it. I'm sure you'll get some sunny breaks.
ReplyDelete"Spirits" being a key word here....
DeleteYou know it doesn't take much to entertain us. I can feed the deer while Norma weeds her garden :)
ReplyDeleteNo matter the weather, being on the island is wonderful. I am sure they will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteOh, we will find something to do. The forecast might be off a bit as well. They say it is raining right now, but it is not.
DeleteEnjoy the company of friends from Mexico. I am sure you will entertain them right; good weather or not.
