Livestyles of the ... (taking two ferries in one day)

Nanaimo & 7th
Having arrived in Vancouver, I visited Grandma for 2+ hours, caught a glimpse of cherry blossoms,
 and picked up clean clothes  from the amazing Laundromat at Commercial & 12th Avenue (Bachelor Service ;-). While staying at the Grouse Inn, I used their laundry facilities twice and went right back to bachelor service. Since the dryer did not completely dry the load of laundry, I had to run it twice, which brought the total to $7.50 + $1.50 for soap. On the other hand, for $10 my favourite laundromat gives me a larger load perfectly dry, very nicely folded, and without me having to wait around or switch loads, or constantly collect quarters.

Around 5pm I boarded another ferry (5 hours seemed long enough for a Vancouver stay).  We had just left the dock when a look back revealed a mountain peak that seemed strangely fuzzy. Avalanche!
Avalanche!







 The rest of the journey was as picturesque as the beginning, and the commencing rain was welcome since it enhanced some of the pictures :-)
Dress warmly!
