Chemainus (Day 2)

We had a day off today, after our long 8-hour shoot yesterday. We wandered around the town checking out all the cool artsy shops and cafes set in heritage buildings. Willow Street Cafe (http://www.willowstreetcafe.com) was probably our favorite. The building was constructed in 1935 and used to be the bank and post office, but it was originally built for the Freemasons. Incredible atmosphere and great customer service. Fabulous mochas and cheese scones as well.

Finished up the trip by visiting my favorite Auntie June in her little attic cottage just out of town. When we arrived she was in the process of boiling maple syrup from sap she'd collected from the trees outside.

Zoe the dog made us feel very welcome too!

Can't wait to come back and visit again!
