Sadly, I don't have pictures from my phone for this day because it would cost an arm and a leg and a little piece of my soul to use my data plan. It's just as well, because I have to make this quick, but can elaborate on the highlights later.
We left Seattle and took a giant, highspeed, 3-hour catamaran ride from Seattle to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Sometimes, the boat will stop if whales are spotted, but none were this time. We debarked and took a bus over to the Butchart gardens, where we spent the next three hours. I have a newfound love of Dahlias, and frozen yogurt is still good in Canada. After that, we took a short tour of the bug museum and I held a bug as big as my hand. Then, after washing that particular hand a lot, we had afternoon tea at the Empress hotel, the first hotel on the island, and it was AMAZING. I love afternoon tea already, but this was died-on-the-spot divinely good. And the people were super nice; our waiter gave us more of our favorite sandwiches without extra charge and their famous Empress tea to go (which they gave to everyone, but it's still pretty nice). We toured the hotel and the nearby shopping.
Good night!
A million years later,
