Playing mexican train outside in the sunshine.

Surfside RV Resort, Parksville BC (2 stars)

It's only breakfast but Lez is already outside behind the Schooner literally face-to-face with some black-tailed deer. They obviously are not concerned.

Not much energy yet. When then deer wandered along our side of estuary shore, the camera was at the ready as I slowly moved along the side of the RV, camera ready to shoot. The younger deer was curious and not afraid as I stood there and snapped away.

After I had another afternoon snooze, we were invited to play Mexican Train at the Atkinson's along with another neighbour couple in the warmth of the sun. Lots of laughs, and I managed to be left with just a few tiles.
