Daily Didactic
We started the morning in the just fine, but hard to get enthused about, Kinnikinnick Campground in between Prince Rupert and Port Edward. While we would have been fine here for a couple of days, the knowledge that we were moving into a quaint old building for the next couple of days had us up and moving at the perfectly reasonable hour of 9:30. We were in Prince Rupert and toting our stuff up the three flights of stairs of the hundred year old building by 10:00. We stayed long enough to drop off our gear and then "hoofed it" over to Cowpuccino's (the amusingly cow punned coffee shop around the corner) for some breakfast and a fancy coffee drink for Brian. We shopped our way around the two blocks of Cow Bay, peered at the harbor for a bit, and enjoyed our general lack of westward movement.

We then proceeded to spend the rest of the day doing not much at all. We found a couple of bookstores, a little dinner, and enjoyed a relaxing evening in a comfortable room.
