remote, wilderness, feasting, sleeping in style, feasting part two, doing the route and marked

1 Our drive takes us to a small fishing town inhabited primarily by native Canadians. It is very remote. So remote there isn't any cell service. Oh first world problems!
2 Botanical Bay is on the Juan deFuca Trail. We explore and relish the sights and sounds of the  sea.
3 Dinner is spectacular and we feast. My dinner is tenderloin with gorgonzola melted on top, wilted spinach and mushrooms and caesar salad. He enjoys a pasta that is stuffed with squash and cheese, with mushrooms, spinach and a tomato based sauce.
4 We spend the night at a delightfully heritage b&b. Our room is the Lilac and it's done up in rich tones of red and brown.
5 Breakfast is a time to talk to the other patrons and owners and feel that connection of sharing something special.
6 We trace the route for the run/walk that I'll be doing on June 2. Our walking time is 57 minutes which isn't too bad for not knowing where we are going, backtracking a bit and map reading while walking.
6a He drives to a good spot for parking and favourites it into my GPS. Will be much easier to find my way with that in place.
