Victoria, sweet Victoria

This next post is on Victoria. Our friends Rich (yep, that Rich) and Siobhan, went off and deserted us a while back to relocate to Victoria. So, because we miss them, we went to see them there. Being the great hosts they are, they put us up, took us around and showed us a rockin' good time.

First they shared with us a few of their favourite places in and around Victoria;

The shoreline...

Mount Douglas - you can see Mount Baker in the background here...

and Gord's Head (i think..)We also got to catch up with my classmate Kaoru who has also moved out to Victoria to continue her culinary studies...

Of course there was a bit of local BC wine to share...

just a bit more posing, and then some (temporary) tattoo creations

A little wandering the streets at night to enjoy the views...

The next day Joe and I did some wandering through Chinatown and the alleys there

Fisherman's Wharf and the boat houses

we visited with some of the locals (harbour seals)

before we headed off on the next leg of our adventure.

It was hard to leave Victoria...but we plan to come back!
