Another glorious Saturday

Zuanich Point
I'm beginning to wonder exactly what miserable January weather I'm going to be escaping when I head to Florida next week. It's been incredibly beautiful, and today is no exception. We ladies (and one man) met in front of a coffee shop and all 22 of us walked briskly to Squalicum Harbor and Zuanich Point. Those in the picture are waiting for some of us who are slower to catch up. Although it's hard to see in this picture, we could see the Olympic mountains in the distance.
Boats in the early morning sunshine
We continued our walk around the harbor and admired the glass-like water reflecting mostly clear skies. I was the only one of the walkers who ended up taking off my jacket; even though it was cold, I warm up quickly. Guess I tend to either wear too many clothes to begin with, or my internal thermostat turns up fast. We didn't walk far, maybe four miles, but it was quite simply a lovely walk with delightful company.
All smiles
I feel incredibly fortunate to have made such good friends, all of whom like to exercise. I don't think any of us look old (we're all "of an age") because we like to sweat! When I get to my sister's home in Florida, believe it or not, my exercise routine will be pushed up a notch. Not only will I be walking briskly every day with Norma Jean, I'll also be swimming alongside her before breakfast!

  4. Your trip & upcoming regime with your sister sounds great to me.

    Beautiful people, awesome scenery (love the boats), but must admit, I'm having a hard time getting past the name of that point (1st pic)

  5. What a gorgeous day for you! It is warm here--sunshine and 62 degrees. I just came in from raking leaves and doing a bit of cleanup in the backyard. That's the extent of my exercise today. oh, I did vacuum the whole house this morning.

  15. It's so wonderful to have such good friends to spend time with. Yikes! Another spam mail from that same person.

    Friends are so very important. You're right. Everyone looks fabulous. Exercise is truly important. I just wish I were as good as you about getting it done.
