My neighbour has given me permission to refer to her as Mrs. H in the blog, so I shall be doing that from now on. 🙂
Our next stop was about an hour north of Victoria and definitely off the beaten path. It was Chemainus, the town of murals.
This is a town that was apparently brought back from the brink and is now a bustling community with all the services within easy walking distance. I think it could be a potential for a ‘forever home’ for me should I ever get to the point of wanting to find one.

both Mrs. H. and I thought these trees looked like sinister people!
a shameful moment in our history
Croft street!
We walked around for a spell and saw the majority of the murals, went back to the car, and drove to the waterwheel park for a picnic lunch.
The road into Chemainus was sinewy and narrow, but okay for RV travel and the town has easy to follow directions to dedicated RV parking.
