Blogging from Canada....day 4

We are on day 4 of our vacation our last day in Victoria BC Canada. Its a lovely place. Gorgeous flowers (everywhere) cute little shops, (everywhere) coffee shops(everywhere- seriously, these folks like their coffee)

Yesterday we took the ferry from Port Angeles, WA USA acrossthe water to Victoria BC Canada. It was a fun trip, a bit cold, but still fun. I hoped to see whales but no such luck. Took lots of pictures (over 500 so far)

We met Darth Vader who knew he was Canadian?? :)

We also saw a living bronze scultpture but I am not sure how the pictures turned out yet.

Found a great stamp store outta just pure luck, we were eating dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory(one of my favorite places) looking at the Victoria visitors guide, when I found an add for Stampers! It was a "brilliant" store... I have heard that word more in the 2 days we have been here in Canada than I have in my 32 yrs in the US! No pics of the store, we made it there with about 15 minutes to sshop before they closed, we had to rush to get in & out so I didnt take the camera in.

Today we went to Butchart Gardens, amazing. I have never seen so many pretty flowers. I took tons of pics there but havent loaded them yet. We also went to Butterfly Gardens. Another amazing place. Its not as big as I expected but its fun. Lots of butterflies, we were lucky enough to see some that only live 3-5 days once they emerge from the cacoon, they emgered this morning. They were HUGE. I will post those pics later... Well off to write post cards... Next update from Seattle coming soon! :)
