Island Girl

I've been riding a bike all over the island, discovering all sorts of things. Yesterday, I sampled wines at the island winery and then checked out a little gallery before biking into town. I ran into a friend of mine from Salt Spring Island at the little market, so we spent the afternoon on the beach together.
I love the main square in town - after my short 7k bikeride, I treat myself to ice cream or a coffe from the bakery.
Big art and garage sale today, bought a little hippie top and a few books. I might have a piece of art mailed back home too.
There is a bathing suit optional beach on the island, much quieter than the main beach. I keep my suit on and enjoy the calmness of this beach, vs the circus-like atmosphere of the main stream beach.
So I'll continue to explore again tomorrow and Monday, on my little bike with no foot petals, a chain that likes to fall off every now and again, little skirt blowing in the wind, soaking up the sun, breathing in this lovely island life - simple, fresh, healthy and miles away from routine city living.
Next stop: Victoria for a day before heading back to Salt Spring Island for yoga bootcamp part 2.
