One of the best things about being on vacation is that you live on your own schedule. You get up when you feel like it and do stuff at your own pace. You also have time to enjoy being a tourist in your own town, like we did this afternoon by going for a long walk around the Irving Nature park. This nature park was set up by the Irvings on Taylor Island which was the local hangout/party spot (a number of years ago) for biker gangs. The Irvings bought the land and set up trails and interpretation centres and have staff for maintenance. It's a lovely bit of wild land with magnificent scenery and many people hike the long trail around the perimeter (which is what we did).
