When in Coombs...

If you're ever on Vancouver Island, you MUST make a trip to Coombs.
This sleepy little pit stop of a town has been transformed because of 2 peoples grand idea, which is this...
Because of this market, Coombs has become a mecca of a market...
There's even tour buses that come just for the shopping...
And OH what shopping there is!
All of the roofs are thatched and there's something else thats special about these roofs ...
But that's another post..
Inside it's a plethora of goods from close and far away places...
mmmm......cheese....
Lovely breads....
Hot sauce galore...
Produce, handmade sausage and of course...
CHOCOLATE!
In the market for a hat?...
How about some lighting?...
Christmas shopping for the kids in your lives?
Dishes for a house warming?
And if you're hungry?
The food is simply...
HUGE!
And DELICIOUS!
So next time you're in the town of Coombs, stop on by...
You'll love it!
