this morning a memory came up from our night at Free Spirit Spheres on Vancouver Island…

it was the cherry on top of our trip that took us on a cruise to Alaska; visiting Chihuly Gardens and Glass, and blowing glass in Seattle; tea and a carriage ride at the Empress Hotel in Victoria; and a morning taking photographs in Butchart Gardens in Brentwood, BC…

it was delightful and we enjoyed every minute… delightful times…

had a marvelous sleep which is quite amazing as I don’t usually sleep well the first night in a strange place… but the rocking was very relaxing… this morning we didn’t want to get up as there was a breeze that gently rocked us back and forth, back and forth…

the pond outside of Melody...

finally we got up, packed, took the last few pictures and headed to Tigh-na-mara for some spa time…  no pictures were taken inside, but we had a fantastic time… spent time in the mineral pool, had body wraps, and massages and ate tapas in a gorgeous setting…  what a blissful day…

entrance to the spa...

into the car and along the Old Island Highway, where we saw great views and stopped at Fanny Bay Oysters to pick up some crab and prawns… home for a nap…

now to bed after getting all my pictures onto Ron’s computer…

tomorrow is my last full day here…

had a much better sleep and got up just after 7… we packed our bags, tidied the house and headed off…

arrived in Coombs and saw some goats on the roof… had a lovely lunch of crab linguini and Cyndi had salmon 5 or 6 ways… bought a few provisions for our night in Melody, one of the Free Spirit Spheres… and I bought a small Japanese Maple for the garden… my wonderful children will drive it across the country when they travel east later in the summer… I am sooo happy… it’s name is cascading waterfall and I will put it in the back corner by the pond and bring it into the house for the winter…

we drove on to Cathedral Grove to soak up the beauty… this is such an amazing sanctuary and I will miss coming here…

fries and tea in Qualicum Beach and stopped to pick up a bottle of wine…

found our way to the Spheres… they are quite lovely… birds are singing and I can hear Cyndi chatting with the person in the next sphere, but can’t see them or the sphere… there was a lovely basket of treats waiting for us and kind hosts… took some pictures and am sitting looking across the pond… how could I not love such a place:-)…
