Victoria, British Columbus - out of order with the rest.

The day prior to Victoria was spent at sea.  The sea was rougher than usual so we had to regain our sea legs.  For some reason, you feel the movement more when in the bathroom.  It is an entire new experience to be sitting on the commode swaying back and forth.  And……………..you really have to watch your aim when standing up in front of the commode taking care of number one.  As all wives will testify, men are not that accurate under the best of circumstances.  (at least that is what Toni thinks)

We stopped for about 5 hours at the island of Victoria.  We didn't do much, mainly wondered around like boat people usually do, watched a few street performers, and took pictures.


This lady can stand as still as a British palace guard.


I put a dollar in here collection pot and she motioned Toni over for a picture.  Money always buys movement.


We walked eight blocks to China Town for this useless picture.  I was very happy.


Toni standing by a red snake dragon the is trying to eat something.  Toni was happier than me.  I hate cities.


The Empress hotel, which is supposed be famous.  Texans don't know about it though.



They had some sort of festival going when we were there.


Bill Gates' yacht was moored here.  (just guessing)


Same yacht, full view.  Maybe it is Sarah Palin's.


Street performer doing hoola hoops with a guy from the crowd.  I got there too late to be onstage.


While in Victoria, we ran into Mike Ditka again.  We saw him several times on the boat.  We were buds!  Nice guy.  (just joking but he did look exactly like Mike Ditka)
