I was thrilled to receive this card. The sender is from Ucluelet, which is on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I lived there for five years when I was a boy. Ucluelet is south of the Pacific Rim National Park, and about 30 minutes south of its more well known cousin, Tofino. Tofino is the village that gets all the attention between the two places.  Ucluelet is an anglicized version of  Yuułuʔił , which means "people of the safe harbour in Nuu-chah-nulth language and is the homeland of the  Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ  people. When I lived there in the late 70's and early 80's, logging and fishing were the main industries in town. Today, Ucluelet has transitioned to a year-round tourism based economy. About 90 000 visitors come to Pacific Rim National Park, Ucluelet, and Tofino every year. Tofino is a favourite vacation spot for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who will surf at Long Beach. The card the sender sent me is from Princeton, British Columbia. She bought in on a road trip...

A nice card from Sunset Beach at Cape May. Normally Cape May has a population of 2800 people. However, in the summer the population can swell to as many as 50 000. The entire city of Cape May is designated the Cape May Historic District, a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture. The Travel Network designated Cape May with one of America's top 10 beaches.
