Salt Spring Island
So finally I arrived at my final destination, Salt Spring Island, truly a place like no
other. I have had the privilege, over my 30 years, to spend many summer, and
even some winter vacations here, and I can tell you, once you’ve been here, you
will know how truly unique it is.
Beautiful beaches, kayaking, sailing, hiking, rock climbing, locally grown crops,
and raised meat, handmade soaps, jams, jellies, teas, cloths, jewellery, the list
goes on and on. Let’s just say there is nothing you cannot get here, except maybe
Mc Donald’s.
The most unique part though, is the people. There is definitely a different way
of life, more relaxed, natural, and healthy. People dance in the park, pick up hitch
hikers at every turn, and offer complete strangers places to stay. This last one
actually happened to me, I shit you not!
There is too many experiences to share, that one blog will not do this special
little island any justice. So for now, I will leave you with a few snippets from an
article in the Island Marketplace free magazine;
You know you live on Salt Spring when.....
• Monday at 2pm really means you’ll show up Wednesday at 3.
• There is a drunk guy in a rainbow poncho in the middle of the road and
the cops wave.
• You decide to walk for exercise, and five people pull over to see if you
want a ride.
• You see women shopping in their Jammies!
• Gumboots and crocs can get you through the year.
• (And my favorite) A lot of your home BAKED cookies are not for
children.
