Jordan River Surf / Swim

Jordan River Surf / Swim

November 29, 2009:

Today, a bit of a departure from the usual weekend activities; a surf outing to Jordan River. Holy crap, when was the last time I tried to surf? Ummm, I think maybe sometime in 2007. Lame? Yes, but I have my reasons, namely recovery from [...]

Run – Victoria, BC – Oak Bay

Run – Victoria, BC – Oak Bay

November 27, 2009:

An experimental 10km run of sorts today in Oak Bay. I already know that I can take some decent photos while riding my road bike, but I have been wondering if it’s possible while running. With my camera in pocket I set out on a [...]

Wednesday Hike – Victoria, BC – Mt. Tolmie / Mystic Vale

Wednesday Hike – Victoria, BC – Mt. Tolmie / Mystic Vale

November 25, 2009:

All summer long, every week; good weather on the Wednesday hike with my work friends. Well, fall is here, and as noted in my previous Wednesday hike blurb, the weather has definitely changed to be somewhat less inspiring. No tornado/hurricane this week, but apparently monsoon [...]

Dead Fish and Mountain Climbing

Dead Fish and Mountain Climbing

November 22, 2009:

In Victoria dead fish and “mountain climbing” (I am using this terminology loosely) can and do go together. Tis the season for the annual salmon run, and Goldstream Park near Victoria offers easy access to the action. On one hand I feel a little bummed [...]

Wednesday Hike – Victoria, BC – Cedar Hill Golf Course

Wednesday Hike – Victoria, BC – Cedar Hill Golf Course

November 18, 2009:

Hurricane? What hurricane? I missed out on the last two Wednesday hikes with my co-workers, but got back into the swing of things this week with a night outing in the park at Cedar Hill Golf Course. We were treated to hurricane-like conditions, okay maybe [...]

Back to Life, Back to Reality

Back to Life, Back to Reality

November 15, 2009:

A week ago today Michelle and I were getting ready to fly back to Victoria at the tail-end of our 2009 Europe trip. I’m not sure why I bother saying “2009 Europe trip”, wishful thinking, I guess, that we will be back there in 2010. [...]

Adios Girona

Adios Girona

November 7, 2009:

Well that’s it for our trip to Europe this year. Amsterdam and Girona were both great and Michelle and I agree that we may return at some point in the future. We are not looking forward to the flights so much, but Victoria is a [...]

Dali Day

Dali Day

November 6, 2009:

Today (Friday) was Salvador Dali discovery day for Michelle and I. The first stop on Dali day was the Dali Museum in Figueres, about a half-hour train trip north of Girona. As I think I may have mentioned in one of my Amsterdam blog posts, [...]

Last Bike Ride in Girona

Last Bike Ride in Girona

November 5, 2009:

Today was the last of our three days with the bike rentals. We’ll be hiking for the remainder of our days here in Girona. Thankfully, the sun was out again this morning, which made it easier for me to justify going out for a bike [...]

Journey to the Edge of the Med

Journey to the Edge of the Med

November 4, 2009:

A slightly less impressive day today in terms of weather, but we didn’t let that stop us from venturing out on the bikes towards Sant Feliu de Guixols on the Mediterranean. Getting to Sant Feliu de Guixols is pretty straightforward if you’re driving, and according [...]
