Because we have two children living in America (Charleston SC
and San Francisco CA), we have a very good reason to cross the Atlantic every
now and again.
Apart form that, we found out that the early autumn period on
Vancouver Island, is the perfect time to do some black bear spotting (meeting!).
So we planned and made a complex but magnificent trip, which
completely answered our expectations.
We saw and experienced: Killer whales, salmon, black bear, amazing landscapes, bald eagles, wineries,
exotic birds, butterflies and dragonflies, crawfish and anole lizards
(eating dragonflies!).
Back home again in Holland, we enjoy the sweet memories and images ;-)
