(we took ferry to Victoria ( and Butchart Gardens)
and back to Vancouver without trailer)









Left Vancouver in an overcast state. Drove over few bridges, through “blueberry farm” country to Rory Delany’s home. His family very nice. Sister Margaret took boys on go-cart course and thrilled. Mr. Delaney made a huge brunch. We were stuffed! left,






drove through U.S. Customs. No trouble at all.

In Washington, country very beautiful and only 100 or so miles to Seattle from Vancouver. Drove to Debbie Singer and friend Aaron Lipetzy. “Camped” on their street 1-1/2 blocks from University of Washington and on fraternity row. 2:00 a.m. and some fellows decided to use their pool! Ugh!
