This weekend we had a girls weekend away to Salt Spring Island (Loreili, Sarah, Leah and I). This is the island where Leah spent many of her 'growing up' years so she was the best guide one could hope for. We stayed at a Forest Retreat Hostel which had tree houses and gypsy caravans available as well...although we stayed in the 'French Country' room surrounded by sunflowers. It's a beautiful island. We spent time at the local lookouts, lakes (that's me and Sarah in the water) and markets. Great getaway location. Even if it's a bit rampant with the ol' "wacky tabacky" as I quickly found out from a lady at the market trying to sell me her paraphenalia. Yes, it's a very "organic" island which is great if you're looking for gluten free/wheat free food! Yummo.
Oh and final "fact" for the day. When you buy/play Scrabble in Canada, it comes with two playing boards - one in French and one in English. Crazily cool. Oh and if anyone's interested, yes I won. :)
