A St. Valentines Day At Home








Alissa and I decided that we were going to do a St. V-Day at home this year. It was nice. Alissa cooked up a vegetarian goat cheese lasagne and Greek Salad, it was great! We wined and dined the night away.

Desert was chocolate fondue made from a giant few pounds brick of Bernard Callebaut chocolate that was given to Matt a few days a go from a stranger who appreciated his humour. We used up all the fruit in the house and paid the price when the chocolate was gone!

We decided on a walk cause we were so full. It was such a beautiful night that we couldn't resist a drink at our new favourite place in town, The Superior. We listened to the bar tender spin jazz on vinyl as we sipped back some winter ale, a Salt Spring Island Fireside that was better than any we tried before.

Couldn't imagine a better St. Valentines Day.

Hiking Schooner Cove Trail in the Misty Rain of Pacific Rim National Park








After our first day of surfing we were ready to stretch our bodies out before heading back into the surf for another day. A hike was in order. We choose Schooner Cove Trail, the favourite trail of the lonely girl working the Parks Canada Visitor Centre.

The misty rain added a refreshing ambiance as we made our way through the trail. No matter how many times you hike this one, there is always such a good feeling when you break through to the beach.
