At every turn and corner we were in danger!!....just kidding but there are signs just in case of danger.

Travis looking into a HUGE piece of kelp in Victoria. Katy told us you could make
a musical instrument...I can't for the life of me think of how to spell that instrument..
The three cyclists who travelled together from Portland to Vancouver:
Crazy cyclist number 3....who is this guy?..well I guess we'll let you come on our ride but you need to keep up and not be clean....hahaha
and runner up...cyclist number 2...sporting the lovely thrift store item...the green racer jacket...this made Lisa so speedy and warm..it was also very cheap
finally cyclist number one...directly from the early 90s is Daun who is wearing the Columbia windbreaker...we all know it was a fashion hit then...ummm..not so much now...but it can break a mean wind and bilow nicely with rhythmic wave down the hills. It sure made Lisa laugh down those hills...she is laughing right now...haha!
We can't believe that we've made it this far. We've met some interesting, funny , warm, kind as well as the not so kind people who have all added to this journey. We've also seen so many different sites and views along the way...we are so lucky to have had this opportunity (although we must say some days we definitely missed the comforts of home and not riding on our hard bike seats in thick fog and cool weather) and thank you all for the donations and support. We will fill you in in a few days on how the rest of the trip goes...so keep checking our progress.

Alright now for some serious blogging... we made it back to Canada...safe and sound! (Washington was a little nutty ...we will never forget the bum through the window, the mean driver comments, the burning barn and a man that could have potentially shot us if we trespassed, who knew people aren't concerned about starting forest fires). Ask us to tell more details about those stories.
The past few days have been really relaxing (only took us 18 days or so and about 1600 kms to get to sun and relaxation but finally we got some). As you can tell by this picture of Lisa...maxin' and relaxin'...
We took the ferry from Seattle to Victoria which was a real treat for us. We arrived in Victoria with a huge and warm welcome from Daun's friend, Katy.
She made us an awesome bbq (so good when for the past few days we didn't know where we would be or stay or eat)!

She made us an awesome bbq (so good when for the past few days we didn't know where we would be or stay or eat)! Today we've had an even more relaxing day of eating (something we've become really good at), celebrating and maybe a little shopping too. Katy took us to the ocean where we had a chance to sit and relax by the water and look for sea creatures. Thank you so much Katy for having us and being such an awesome hostess, you really made this part of our trip so easy and enjoyable! Oh and this was the first time Lisa and I have ever been to Victoria and we would both definitely come again, just loved it!
We will be cycling up to the Swartz Bay tomorrow morning to catch the ferry to mainland and then cycle to Richmond where we will stay near the airport and catch our flight the next day to Ottawa. The main challenges that are left now, cycle safely to our tomorrow's destination and get bike boxes (please let Krusty's Bike shop have some.....and who names their shop Krusty's anyway?...)
