Wow! What an island experience John, Gingee and I just had! We went to John's cousin's fifteen-acre farm property on Cortes Island for five days! What began with a bit of culture shock . . .
we stayed in a little one-room cabin with only cold running water,
we took showers outside in water warmed by solar energy,
we did our business in an outhouse...

| We showered with the bamboo! |
ended in less than a day ...
because within a day, we were fully warmed by the beautiful sights on Cortes Island and by Annie, David and Noella's hospitality (not to mention it was really hot over there)!

What is your favorite island memory?
What a great experience in a wonderful part of the world. Gingee, you sure are lucky!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Cortes - it looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI guess my best island memory is of Quadra Island, and seeing the dolphins come in so close that I felt I could have touched them.
Sounds as if the visit was very memorable with new adventure. Pictures were very nice!
