Sept 8-11, 2016 Ruth, Anna, my mom and I went up to Vancouver Island for a vacation. Great time on the ferry winding through the islands. Fantastic time staying in a Tudor style mansion turned AirbnB. Couple was born and raised in England, moving to Canada some 40 years ago. I'd heartily recommend them except... their selling the house and the 6 acres next to the lake where the western Canadian rowing team trains.
Victoria had their International Chalk Art Festival- our pictures capture the mid of the first day. Then off to Fisgard Lighthouse.
Sunday was a great talk with our hosts talking about English and Canadian cultures and medicine between our countries. Butchart Gardens looked glorious. Dinner at the Sea Glass restaurant next to a marina, catch the last two minutes of the Seahawks game on the radio, and back on the ferry.
Fun trip. Click here to enjoy the pics.
