Tofino, watching, night walk and luxury

1 A lovely break from the usual weekend. We head to Tofino and encounter, snow on the pass and waves and rain that are spectacular at Chesterman Beach. Here's the view from our bed and breakfast, but add more rain and wind.

2 Seafood chowder and breads for lunch at the Long Beach Resort. There are surfers, waves and beach walkers to watch as we indulge our taste buds. 
3 We walk on the beach after dark, taking our headlamps and bundling up. The wind and rain are strong as is the surf. Rogue waves lap up over my boot tops and drench my legs but my gumboots are snug and so my feet stay warm.

4 Our room is spacious yet cozy. First we dry out and then have a picnic in our room. Later we snuggle in a king size bed with the window wide open so we can listen to the rain and the pounding of the sea.
