"A Time of Rest..."

On Thursday July 23 we left Mike's brother Tim's and headed to Deb's parents place in Victoria, B.C. Canada. Tim is running for the city council of Bainbridge Island and would be a wonderful asset to the council. We wish him the best. We will really miss Tim and Sharon while we are away-but fortunately we have a great phone system and email!We arrived at Deb's parents place on Vancouver Island late (after taking 3 different ferries-not normal!) on Thursday night. On Friday the guys played golf and the ladies celebrated Alisia's 14th birthday at the Empress Hotel with High Tea. Alisia felt like a princess.

We have had a time of rest and Deb is getting the dufflebags ready for Tuesday when we fly out to Benin. We are starting to get anxious (in a good way) and want to get on our way.
