Talk about eclectic....Saltspring Island on a Saturday meets all requirements on that score. Saltspring Island is never exactly the best example of staid anglo saxon up-tightness in the best of times, but on Saturdays - watch out. Every over the hill hippy is out with whatever organic vegetable or herb from his or her garden, potential customers of all stripes stroll through their vending stands, every unconventional piece of clothing will be parading around...great spot for people watching
