Undersea Gardens

Scott, Evan and I had a lovely day today. We went to Beacon Hill for a long walk and stopped in at the petting zoo (no pics only video for that). Then we walked along the harbour, had bubble tea and went to the Undersea Gardens. We got to see all kinds of sea creatures and a man in a scuba suit.
We had a great lunch at the Wharfside Eatery. A nice view of the harbour and a pound of King Grab legs. Evan went nuts for the crab, I could hardly crack it open quick enough for him. We walked a little downtown, stopped at the Christmas Store for a look and headed back to the beautiful condo we're staying at. Right now Scott and Evan are napping, once they're up I'll get some condo pictures for you all. (The condo belongs to Scott's dad, Roy, and is very nice.)
Yesterday we went down to Pearson to meet all of Scott's old friends at the reunion. Spent a day with them on the beach and then had supper at My Chosen Cafe (they used to walk 90 minutes to get non-cafeteria food). We'll be spending more time at Pearson tomorrow and Friday. Today was our family day.
Hopefully we'll remember to take more pictures the next few days. Should have some of Evan on the beach, right? He loves the beach but he gets a little fixated on the sand/driftwood/rocks and tries to eat it all... most of my time is spent frustrating his efforts.
I love the live music all around, the bustle of all kinds of people. You see the rich elderly vacationers along side the street people on every corner. I'm really loving Victoria. It's mostly the closeness of the ocean and accessibility of everything by foot - no need for a car to avoid boredom here. Lethbridge just doesn't have the same variety of culture and just "things to do." Friday is the first day of Folkfest. I am so excited to be here for that. There will be a wide variety of ethnic food (probably accompanied by jazz as it's also Jazz fest this week.) So sorry for you all not being here...
