Camping at Tofino and Ucleulet

Only July 2nd, we arrived in Nanaimo, but we did not stay there. We bought groceries and filled our tank, and we continued to drive to the west Coast of Vancouver Island. At the conjunction T session, left turn took us to Ucluelet and a right turn took us through the magnificent Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (Long Beach) and on into Tofino. We stayed at a camping site call the Surf junction.


The west side of the island is dominated by surf and wide sandy beaches. Clayoquot Sound is north of Tofino and is full of beaches, islands and rainforests. We heard that some of the best sea kayakings in the world are found here.

Tofino rests on the north tip of the peninsula and it is said to be a great place to engage in whale watching, scuba diving, kayaking. It is Canada's west side, about 5000 miles to Japan. The weather was windy, raining and chilly, we were not in the mood to  sports. We just wandered along the harbour, and visited some art galleries and workshops.

Ucluelet is nestled in a small harbour south of the park area. We enjoyed the little clean town by alking and hiking.We also loved the most spectacular views in the light tower area, and we enjoyed the Wild Pacific Trail, more than Tofino.

Here is a video clip abut the region we visited.

Beautiful Rocky Mountains

From Canada Day to last week, We've been out for vacation! Those pictures were taken on our way from Calgary to Vancouver. Mountains along the highway one in Alberta are totally amazing. They look strong, solid, serious and mighty. Together with playful, ever-changing and mysterious clouds, they make beautiful pictures.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork” (Ps. 19:1).

 

Final Clay Class

We've been working hard for our clay projects every Saturday. Finally, it is done. Voila, here are some of our products. Very beginner's level. However, they are coming from our corazons. :)

Community Garden

We joined the local community for gardening this weekend. It was sunny and warm, a great day for growing flowers and vegetables! We got our hands dirty and learnt some skills from an experienced gardener. 

On the way home, we bought some seeds from super store. We started to grow vegetables in our back yard. - We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, pumpkins, and lettuces. Imagine we will have the luxery to eat organic vegetables from our own back yard! Wow!

你的笑对我一生很重要

看到孩子们都一个又一个开始工作, 高中毕业, 走出家门, 也才惊觉时间的飞逝. 不禁想起了一首旧歌:



                      这些年你过得好不好?

是不是也一样没烦恼?

                   偶而是不是也感觉有些老?

像个孩子似的神情忘不掉

你的笑对我一生很重要
