A walk in the Islands View Neighborhood

We have a large dog (a Bernese Mountain dog), so going for walks is part of our daily routine. Yesterday, in between a few rain clouds, we headed out for a family walk around the Islands View/ Coho/Thompson area in the South End of Gabriola.

A simple walk reminded me of why I love living here, on the walk we stopped and chatted with 3 sets of neighbors and everyone seems genuinely interested in each others lives and happy, maybe it's the fresh air or maybe it's being happy where you live.
