Victoria, BC

Just arrived in this lovely garden city, the sun is out and I stopped on the way to my friends' house for a walk along the beach. I had forgotten how beautiful it is. Tomorrow, we are going to drive out to Sooke before going to the Victoria Rodeo.
Delicious fish on the barbeque - the food here is so fresh, it is wonderful. Many people are practicing the 100 mile diet - ie everything has to come from within a 100 miles of Victoria - such a good idea - good for the environment and for the local farmer/fishermen economy.

I hope to get some photos of the rodeo tomorrow and will post them. Might also try and look at the new luxury hotel here, the Parkside.
