Today was pretty much a driving day, and most of it on I5. I hope this is the last Interstate we have to drive on (but I know it isn’t). I am more of a back roads person (minus the gravel, of course)!!
We left Portland after a very nice breakfast at the Airbnb we stayed at called Bedroom, Breakfast and Bikes! If you haven’t already looked into Airbnb, I highly recommend that you do. It is a great way to save money, meet nice people, and have a “local experience”. We left Oregon and entered into Washington and before you knew it, we were in Vancouver. However, we discovered it was Vancouver, WA and not Vancouver, BC. That was another six hours away (plus the time at the Customs and Immigration Checkpoint). We stopped in Everett WA and had lunch at a cute little restaurant called Cafe Dijon. I had one of the best salads I’ve ever had. And we even got a homemade cookie for desert (included with lunch).
We made it through Customs and Immigration around 4:00pm and were in Vancouver BC by 4:30. We are staying at another Airbnb, this one called Downtown Vancouver Condo.
We met up with Sandy & Sylvia for a wonderful evening of great wine, dinner and lots of catching up. Dinner was at Water St Cafe and it was excellent. It was a lovely evening, but way too short.
Tomorrow we are off to Victoria.
And the journey continues . . .
Looking good after a long day’s drive!
