Here is a pretty good breakfast to go.
Mind you, we went to the Rhodo Cafe and Bistro.
And this is a Comox Egg Benedict for Norm.
Tummies full, we headed south to Duncan. On the way I remembered how my brother, Reg Baylis, had carefully removed two street signs on this highway when he was biking from Rupert 30 years ago. He brought along a crescent wrench, climbed the poles and removed the Baylis signs. They now sit very nicely in Prince George on his fence.
Fortunately the signs have been replaced. The road is named named for my grandfather’s brother, Art Baylis, who was logging the forests in the area some 70 years ago. Or so the family story goes. I feel a bit famous having my family name on a road sign.
We made it to Duncan in time to catch the local market. It was like the old days. Many people, almost no masks and lots of vendors.
Bought some yummy blueberries.
Our last stop on our road trip is with Lon and Lorrie Wood. They have a wonderful beautifully renovated home. Check our accommodations, very nice.
Lon suggested we go to a local museum called The Hand of Man. He had not been before so wasn’t too sure what we would see. The owner Jim Shockey has set up millions of articles in an old elementary school. To say it was overwhelming is an understatement. It was unbelievable what was in this museum.
I don’t think I could begin to list all the items.
Rooms and rooms filled.
These were just a small amount of the arrowheads on display.
Every inch was filled with artifacts from all over the world.
I couldn’t go into a few rooms because they were again totally filled with animals, from lions, deer, to every size and creature you could imagine.
That’s a whole other topic - killing animals!
Here is a dinosaur and Norman outside the museum.
Norm is the one pointing.
Back home for a yummy Butter Chicken, Vindaloo, pita bread and all trimmings- chutney, coconut, peanuts, raisins, bananas (I skipped those) and mango sorbet for dessert. Delicious!
Tomorrow maybe raptors….
