Anything Goes

We were up in Chemainus to see the Cole Porter musical called Anything Goes. A fabulous production...Joelle Rabu is just outstanding and all the cast really. Great choreography, costumes...everything was first class. We enjoyed the new Best Western there as well...room furnishings and bedding as good as you get at the Fairmont group in Vancouver and you don't have $30 a day plus tips for valet parking! In the rooms and also around the hotel they had great old black and white photos of the region and the industry. Some super vintage theatre posters as well around the hotel. We started with lunch in Cowichan Bay, dinner at the theatre of course, and lunch at the Malahat Mountain Inn on the way back...wonderful view to go with the mussels.





Renaissance Books from Victoria has relocated in Chemainus...a fine old store.



This is one of my favourite murals in Chemainus.




This is one of the tribute's to Fern's Uncle Charlie, the famous hermit in Chemainus
who created and maintained many trails in the Chemainus area.
