On Wednesday, I took a delightful rest day and stayed at the house. My big accomplishment for the day was to go swimming in the lake. The house has a hot tub which I’ve been enjoying in the morning. Here are some pictures of the house and the lake.

The big adventure for Thursday was to rent some inner tubes and float down the Cowichan River for a distance of 2 miles. It took about 2 1/2 hours. We actually encountered a number of class one rapids which made the float a little bit exciting. The weather was ideal because it was overcast and not hot. All in all a wonderful experience.

Here are the pictures I took along the float. The houses were beautiful. I wouldn’t mind living here. The blur in some of the pictures was because my phone was in a dry bag. After a while, I felt safe enough to take it out and so the photos are better.
