I can't believe that you'll have to wait to find out if it's true about the "best kissing" place. I take it that you have other thoughts.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-67257101346406042292009-08-31T21:52:45.854-07:002009-08-31T21:52:45.854-07:00I enjoyed reading this post Judy --it was so infor...I enjoyed reading this post Judy --it was so informative and the photos are all wonderful. Chemainus looks like a town I would enjoy visiting. I had to smile when I saw the mural of the hospital -- my nursing school's uniform looked exactly like the nurse in the mural -- same cap too!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-55372782032412741662009-08-30T12:18:01.586-07:002009-08-30T12:18:01.586-07:00I enjoyed the tour Judy.

I have never seen a place like that. I agree with Judy it is better than an encyclopedia and from first hand knowledge.

I would sit and read through them, looking at the many pictures, and wanting to learn what I could. Let me tell you something, this is far more interesting to me. I just visit your blog, and watch the world open up before me, in a more fascinating way then studying the World Book Encyclopedias. I love your blog!Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-30204463041279497842009-08-28T06:42:41.942-07:002009-08-28T06:42:41.942-07:00This little town is one of my favorite stops when ...This little town is one of my favorite stops when I head up Island. The murals take me to another time and place - but I'm also drawn by the antique stores and the ice cream parlour!
