Jan. 24: Taking a Break to the Island

(Weather Update: mainly sunny +10 in Victoria, no snow yet...)

We are getting impatient to start our jobs here, so we took a weekend break by ferry to Vancouver Island. B.C.'s capital city of Victoria is just as British as the name implies, with gardens in bloom, high tea at 3 pm, and horse carts in the street. And of course, topdown convertibles cruised the streets for my summer dreams. A surprise, though, is that Victoria, like Vancouver, also has painted fiberglass eagles. Anyone out there for some pick-me-up bright colours??
