Okay, not really. We only went to the coast for a week, and I've been sloughing off blog-wise ever since. Unless you count my series on "former Satanists" at Swallowing the Camel.
Anyway, thought I'd share a few pics of our trip to lovely Prince Rupert, B.C. My favourite memento is this card Richard found in the men's room at a rest stop:
A bizarre thing happened on the way home. I was reading Robert Graves' book The White Goddess, which deals with Celtic lore and the Arthurian legends, when we pulled into an average-looking rest stop. It had one of those tourist cairns, marking the spot of something-or-other. I usually ignore them if they're in an unremarkable spot like this one, but for some reason I felt compelled to get out of the car and read the plaque on the cairn. It turned out this cairn contained a stone from castle Tintagel, rumoured birthplace of King Arthur...

Did you call the number on the card?
I was so tempted to call the Sasquatch man and say, "There's a big hairy biped wandering around my tent! Oh, wait, that's my husband."
He prob'ly gets those calls all the time.
