We all went downtown around 11 am and toured the Whale Museum. Very interesting. After this Jim C., Ryan, Meghan and Liam went to the War Museum while Jim and Cathy W. and Jim and I went downtown to do some shopping and check out all the little shops. We went to “Down Riggers” for lunch where we were able to eat out on the porch and watch all the boats in the harbor.
After lunch we did some more shopping and then, just as we were getting ready to head for the car, we got to see Jim W. put his Paramedic training to use. An 82 year old woman tripped on the stairs right beside where we were standing and fell backwards down the stairs and hit her head on the cement. Jim tended to her while we called 911 and got some towels from the nearby store to stop the bleeding. Once the Island Paramedics arrived Jim helped get her ready to transport in the ambulance and then we went on our way.
Tonight Jim and Cathy C. hosted a Geocaching party here at the house and quite a few people showed up. Some of them they knew and others had responded because they are avid Geocachers. It was very interesting to hear where some of the caches are hidden and the adventures when hunting for them.
