Honeymoon

The west coast of Vancouver Island was our destination. We stayed at an amazing place in Ucluelet, which is famous for its dramatic storms. People come from all over, especially during the winter months, to watch the waves crash. There were no storms during our stay but the view from the lighthouse trail was still pretty stunning.

We were easily distracted.

Amazing walk right along the ocean.

You can see the lighthouse in the distance and Alain was making me point it out.

We found a little beach or cove and played in the sand for a while. This was an attempt to document a walk on the beach but turned into a bum shot. Unfortunately there were no logs or stones high enough to get our whole bodies in the shot.. and the beach didn't have many other people on it to play photographer.



I was trying out the look of my new name.

This is where we stayed.

Since we were so close, we also had to check out Tofino and the infamous Long Beach.

Due to the cool temperatures, I forgot to bring shorts or a swimsuit along so we could play in the water. Waves splash quite high I discovered, so I spent the rest of the day in Tofino with soaked jeans. Still fun.




The title Long Beach is no joke. The beach stretches on and on for miles and the wind blows and blows, which is why it is so popular with the surfing crowd.
