VICTORIA, BRITISH COLOMBIA, CANADA

What a gorgeous day and place! I really could see living here as a possibility, if it could just be a tad warmer!! Lori, Christy, Gary & I started the day riding the HOHO bus for the complete 90 minute loop, to get an overview of the whole city and all the various neighborhoods. They have it all, great downtown, shops & restaurants and parks, beaches and beautiful homes.
Then the four of us were off to high tea at the fancy Empress Hotel. It was so YUMMY! Especially the Laurent Perrier Champagne & Chocolates flown over from Paris this morning! A great lunch and treat. Thanks Lori for inviting me!
Next Lori and I ubered out the stunning Butchart Gardens! the perfect way to catch up and work off all those calories from tea!
After I helped Lori get back on the ship with her luggage, I went out for a neighborhood walk with Bosco and had some fun in Port.
