I'm coming to see you Vancouver!
It's mid September already and I'm busy with the Salt Spring Farmers Market and getting ready for an Oktoberfest Market the last weekend of September in downtown Vancouver!

I feel like that may just be my theme of 2024. The roads on Salt Spring Island are winding and hilly like the pic above. To give you some idea, the speed limit on most of the island is 50 km per hour, there are no stop lights (there are stop signs) and most roads have a do not pass, solid line down the middle. If you get stuck behind someone...
