Well it's Wednesday morning in Victoria and plans have changed. Our trip to Vancouver has been put on hold until next year for several reasons. First and foremost is that I was able to book a (unavailable till this morning) room at Lake Quinault Lodge in the Olympic Rain Forest. Secondly in checking available lodging in Vancouver, what was available is "spendy", and it's an additional 214 miles and two days (less 90 minutes) to Port Angeles, WA.
Since we arrived here in Victoria I haven't stopped sweating, and the ladies haven't stopped radiating. Hot and humid, one of 4 heat waves in the last 100 years. I think one other was during the 1994 Joint meet in Tacoma that we attended. We drove out to Butchart Gardens yesterday and were wowed by the beauty. We could do as well at home if everyone would just come over and help. Mom treated to a luxurious lunch while there and we went our separate ways afterwards. After naps Judy & I stopped in at the inn at the East India Room at Empress for Martinis and conversation, and to see how high on the hog we could get. And speaking of hogs, one donated dinner at a local pub (they’re everywhere) and we had some local brew to cool us as AC is rare.
We've got to run to check out and catch the ferry, and probably won't have email in the forest tonight.
Until the next time........Steve & Judy on the water but not on the wagon.
