Having
lived in Edmonton for a long time, living in a tourist town is a new experience
for us.
The best
part is people come and visit us!
We’ve had lots of visitors this summer who want to see us and the sights. So we went to see the sights with them… thus getting to know our new town
even better.
Some
highlights.
Keith’s
daughter and son-in-law Kristine and Jeremy and granddaughter Mary came for a week. We had Mary all to our selves for a couple of
days so we took her to:
 |
| Moss Street Market to eat organic strawberries |
 |
| Beacon Hill Park to see the peacocks |
 |
| and pet the goats |
 |
| What's Victoria without a walk (or ride on Grandpa's back) on the beach? |
 |
| Hatley Castle aka Royal Roads University |
 |
| The gardens at Hatley Castle |
My sister was just here visiting Mum on Pender. She came over to Victoria and we decided to try out the restaurant at the Robert Bateman Gallery which overlooks the Inner Harbour. We also experienced a tea and chocolate tasting at Silk Road, which have been operating in Victoria for 23 years and even grow some of their own tea on the south island.
