Victoria. We had heard Victoria is a special place over Christmas. Kelly and I had discussed giving each other experiences vice presents for special events as experiences are something to last us a lifetime, something we can talk about whilst sitting on our porch swing in our dotage.
Victoria. Victoria is a special place over Christmas:
 |
| Parliament in its Holiday Best |
 |
| Government Street South |
 |
| Government Street North |
 |
| Parliament and Boats at the Causeway Floats |
 |
| View Across the Harbor |
 |
| Herself in Her Finest Dress |
We managed more than just evening walks through Victoria. Richard, of
S/V Sarita, was very kind to treat us to a meal at
Don Mee, a local Chinese restaurant. There was also some shopping at
Irish Linens and
Rogers Chocolates, where the Christmas candies were half off! Further, the Empress Herself had a wonderful, 60ish Christmas tree displays. Each of the trees were sponsored by a local business and the proceeds went to the local Children's Hospital. And of special note, we found a couple good beers!
Gulf Islands Brewing has two we like: Heatherdale Scotish Ale (heather, not hops) and a Porter. Several of each were liberated from a local liquor store!
