Wounded Whale!

Sorry, yet another detour to the present day. In a blog about my car and I, I have to share the news that the Blue Whale was wounded while stopped at a light on the highway. It was a foggy, slippery morning, but I guess the lady behind me was going too fast...I was daydreaming and idling  at the light when-wham! My back end was crunched in. I'm fine, but the poor car had to get towed to a garage in Nanaimo-about three hours from Tofino-where I was headed. It is still there, I am here in Tofino with a rented car-but I'm thinking about it all the time.

Sooo...I'm going to share some other gory details-like how I had been constipated for three (4?) days-while I'm waiting for the tow truck on the busy highway, the happy moment I was waiting for presented itself-time to go! So-I run off into the woods at the side of the road, (after comforting the sobbing lady who was upset because she felt she ruined my vacation) luckily it was foggy, but still....then I was dogged with the opposite of constipation the whole three hours to Tofino-and running off into the forest multiple times. (No TP-only leaves!) Needless to stay, I was a bit of a mess, no public bathrooms were open, or there were none because I was in the middle of the wilderness!!

The good news is in between my bathroom breaks-actually sometimes during my bathroom breaks I got to look at this!
