Lost, but not for long

Jumping blueberries, Batman!!  I've never seen so many blueberry fields in my life, but then I've never seen a  blueberry field before - ever.  Took a while to figure out what they were.  Workers everywhere, with big-brimmed hats, picking this precious fruit.  Perfect climate for them.  Cool, moist, wonderful weather.  Making you in the desert feel worse?  Sorry, I'll try to behave.  Shortly after leaving the rv park just inside the border yesterday, there were fields of blueberries, hay -both grass and alfalfa, and lots of potatoes.  White blooms for white spuds and purple blooms for reds.
I did get lost; just a little.  I missed a sign for the BC Ferries.  Either I wasn't paying attention or the cataracts are messin' with me.  I found my way back on track and found the terminal.  BIG, BIG, BIG.  Cost me $269.00 one way and it was a 2 hour sailing.  The kids stayed in the trailer - not allowed up on the people decks.  I went up and got a cup of coffee and soaked in the sights.

The view from my rv park in Nanaimo is so sweet.  The streets are terraced so every spot has an ocean view.

This BC Ferry system is amazing.  Don't know how many of these giants there are but it must be big business.  So many ferries; so many employees and the darn things run to and from so many different places, 24 hours a day.  

I met a wonderful couple here at the park - Merv and Gail.  They have lived their entire lives on Vancouver Island.  Hey, it's a BIG island.  They have been married 40 years and never rv travel off of the island because, like I said, it's a big island and there is so much to see and do.   They have been to Fallon, believe it or not but their memory of Las Vegas, not so good.  They went to Las Vegas one year in August  to buy a car.  August,I tell ya.  EveryCanadian I have come in contact with have  been so friendly.  The out of country tourists; not so much.

I'm getting ready to pull out and head north for Telegraph Cove.  Hope I have internet up there.  This park has allowed me to post from here.  My MiFi isn't consistent.  We'll see what happens up there.
