Made it to Surrey

     We made it!  What a hairy drive to Surrey in the pouring rain.  Too many big trucks on the road for my liking but that's what we get when we travel on the freeway.
     Yesterday we did our walk to Bridal Falls.  What a spectacular walk that was.  Weaver loved it.  So many scents on the path.  There were a couple of paths to take and of course I took the camera and like Murphy's law, I got two pictures of wonderful trees covered in thick moss when the battery said no more!  So we kept climbing, with me stopping from time to time to catch my breath.  In no time at all we could hear the falls and in an even shorter time we were at the base of the falls.  What a beautiful rock formation.  I can imagine when run off in the spring starts what a display those falls would make.  The rock formation was very visible but you would never see it in the spring.  We let Weaver off his leash and exploring he went; into water puddles to get a drink of water, running way ahead of us as we went down the other path, even hiding on me behind a tree and startled me when I turned around to look for him.  That dog loves being outside.  He hates being left behind and when we start up the mh he starts to whine.  His trouble is that he doesn't have a seat to sit on where he can see outside.  I thought the dash on my side would make a great seat but he's having none of that.  Yesterday and the day before all he wanted was to sit on the floor between Mike's feet but as you all know that is not the safest way to drive.  Today he sat on the couch, bracing himself with all his legs but one that rested on the arm of Mike's seat.  Didn't look too comfortable to me, but I'm not the dog and I'm not giving up my seat.
     Mike's brother Bob is coming to get us to take us out for wings but of course he's caught in rush hour traffic because instead of parking his car at the Skytrain station he drove it into town.  I think he must have been pretty tired this morning. 
     It has rained all day.  Mike says it is misty out there now.  I had to turn on the portable heater in here to dry out our jackets and my toque.
     Everyday we stop at a grocery store to buy something for supper.  It's the best way to do things because we don't have a car with us.  So far so good as far as our bike is concerned.  It is still on the back of the mh.
    Till next time,
Caio,
