I took a Beechcraft 1900C prop-driven airplane this morning from Vancouver to Victoria. One sparkling seaside city to another. This is such a wonderland of water up here, it’s all breathtaking from the air…
I have a radio interview in about 45 minutes at CBC Victoria, lucked out to find Bubby Rose’s Bakery, and a piece of “Shaker Lemon Pie,” I swear the best piece of pie I’ve ever had. More later…

About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:

Yum, and pretty barista art, too.
Victoria really is wonderful. The view of the Gulf Islands from the air is definitely astounding, but if you can manage to be a passenger in a car going from Victoria to Nanaimo on the Malahat highway, on a sunny day, the islands are even more beautiful.
