Traveling with Ed and Cathy to Victoria, B.C.

 

Ed and Cathy are surrounded by tall trees and abundant wildlife. It is perfect home for two Biology majors who love the outdoors. We have all been friends since college days at Southwest Texas University. We  have had many adventures together.

As my mother would have said when she coveted what someone else had. I wish we had that and they had one even better.
