Downtown Nanaimo

The marina is a pretty spot for lunch with cousin Elena.

The fountain built by the Italian community in Italian Square Park to commemorate British Colombia’s Centennial anniversary.

Had dinner with this lovely couple Pam and Gil whom I met on the Norwegian Epic three years ago. Who would have imagined we would meet up again just 5 minutes from my cousin’s home in Nanaimo Vancouver Island.

Goodmorning Nanaimo.

Strolling through cousin Giuseppina’s backyard.

A little tree hugging.

This 800 year old tree in Cathedral Grove is taller and wider than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Billy goats gruff 🙂 Coombs Old Country Market started as a store with a grass roof. The Norwegian owners decided to put goats on the roof to attract passing trade. It is now a popular tourist spot.

Discovered my ancestry on my maternal grandmother’s side includes nobility.
