A Walk at Dallas Road

It seems like the theme for this month (and probably for the rest of the spring and summer months) is "ocean". We just love being here in Vancouver island and being just a walk away from it. Our latest weekend beach walk is at Dallas road which is a long stretch of beautiful pathway on the edges of a cliff overlooking the coast and which has stairs going down to the beach front. I was amazed at how close we got to the seagulls. We definitely are enjoying the long awaited spring months.

Morning Walk to Work

Some days when Julia is in a good mood and I get to drop her at her daycare early, I would walk to work rather than ride the bus. On these days, I feel extra thankful that we have chosen to live in a city near the ocean. I have been travelling and working in places long enough to recognize that being able to walk to work and see views like these is something extraordinary. I love seeing the waters everyday. The ocean reminds me of home (even if it is freezing cold and the harbour is filled with fancy boats). And as long as it is there, within an arms reach, I feel connected to our 7,500 islands back home.
