Victoria

We only had a few hours in Victoria thanks to the Jones Act.  But we enjoyed a quick walk along the wharf and through town.  Victoria is a darling town that is easy to fall in love with.  



Fishermans' Wharf was filled with precious little house boats and quite a few were available as B&B's and short term rentals.  



The float planes are bigger here...

 These water taxi's have to be the cutest things ever.





The seagulls had claimed this fountain as their own.  Honestly they seemed to have claimed the entire city.



 This ferry to Vancouver has an epic paint job.












This wasn't the only zany posting I saw...but it was the event I most wanted to attend.

 We stopped in for a quick pint.



This back alley looking joint gave me a very Total Recall vibe.  
Just keep on walking...

We found my Brother-in-Law's Pub

This lovely building is being converted into high-end condos.  If a price tag of one to ten million seems high to you.  



This historic building used to house Canadian Customs.  At least they are preserving the exterior.


I should mention that today we celebrated "D"s birthday with some late night Sushi.  Happy Birthday!

I'm glad we grabbed a cab and arrived back a bit early because the ship left the dock a full 40 minutes early.  I assume that is because everyone was on board. 


Our next big adventure is Public School.  I doubt I'll have a ton of photos from it though.  I am begging "J" for one "first day of school (ever)" photo.  I want something like this, which I think would be hilarious...she may not agree.
