All the Way from California



For the last little while we could hear those barking sounds as soon as we went outside the house, and we had no idea where it is coming from and what they were.

Well, turns out that a bunch of California Sea Lions made Cowichan Bay their home for the winter - how cool is this? Basically right at our front door LOL. They are huge, loud and extremely stinky, but it was fun to walk down to the bay and see them for ourselves.



And of course, no trip down to the Bay without visiting the Udder Guys Ice Cream and Candy Store :)
