Day 20

Woke up to another beautiful clear sunny morning. We were happy to see Jenny and Chris from Manitoba arrived last night, they were our next door neighbors last year. They will be here for two months. We talked briefly with Jenny this morning before we headed off for the  home tour. We have done the home tour several times, I was hoping it was going North today as in the past they went North on Tuesdays, well guess that may have been long in the past! It was going South today and they said they rarely go North, We bought our tickets and went to the French bakery down the street to get a treat before we left.  Yum!
Today we saw 4 houses All of which I have never seen before :)  which is unusual, usually there is a repeat, all were beautiful waterfront homes. The home tour is put on by the international friendship club and all proceeds go to charitable organizations.  A couple of the homes are availabile to rent, complete with chef, gardener and housekeeper! That would really be a treat...for a nice price though :)
After the tour we had a lovely lunch at Daiquiri Dicks.
After lunch Dave went back to our place to rest and I went out to get some supplies and do a little shopping. As usual when I got back I was hot and needed to take a dip in the pool. Dave eventually joined me and we had a nice chat at up at the pool with Chris and Jenny :) Dave returned to our room but I continued to visit with another guest, George who is here with Nigel for two months and then will need to return home for at least a night in BC before they head on to Ecuador for a few months!!!! They are both retired educators, library, Alberta/Vanvouver public schools. The return trip home has something to do with Canadian trip insurance that is covered for them but get only 3 months at a time ( I might not have this completely correct)
We got dinner to go from Cafe Bohemia due to a headache setting in for poor Dave :( 
We had one of the best days yet since Daves illness that started on the 26th, just wish Dave was feeling even better so he could enjoy his vacation more!
