    Hi Liz...I remember as a wee boy back in the olden days...with my parents en-route to the Interior, we used to wait for a ferry in the Very Hot Summers Sun to get to ChilliwacK.

    Great Post ...Have a great day!

    Liz, you've convinced me - it's beautiful ... if only it was closer, I'd go right now. :) 

    You're going to have to show me Langley now. :)
