Day 7, 8/24/07 Ganges, Salt Spring Island

We all got up, had breakfast, then headed off to Saturday market at the park in the middle of town. It was so much fun checking out the booths of art work, jewelry, soaps, pottery and food made by local artisans.
It appeared to be a special weekend event for the younger kids to be selling stuff as well, for they were set up down the center aisle selling their items.
We also visited other shops in town with Scott looking for something at a Radio Shack-type store, and Cindy looking for exotic teas in a really neat tea shop. On our way back to the boat I purchased some of the local Saltspring Island coffee, and the bag it was in smelled like heaven.
Later that evening we enjoyed a wonderful dinner with just Carter and Jackie at a European Restaurant. It was excellent food, and we enjoyed the rest of the evening with just the two of them. We had decided to go to Victoria the next morning if the weather looked rough, or go straight to Roche Harbor if the conditions were favorable.
