I came across your site while searching for train info from Marseille to Barcelona while in Europe visiting a friend. Then I came across this article on Victoria which is now my hometown for the past 1.5 yrs. After reading it I am ready to head back home in 4 days to a wonderful city, for sure the best place to live in Canada

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your comment. Your kayak trip sounds amazing – I would need much more experience in one before attempting a trip like that.

We do love it up there, in the summer – I am not sure I could make it through their relatively mild winters. I grew up in Tucson so I am a weather wimp!

Kelley – it’s great to hear from you! It’s crazy to think we were so close to Vancouver and didn’t hang out with you guys.

Thank you for your gracious invite to your place; I’ve heard about this “bungalow” of yours.

We hope to be back in the Northwest often, so maybe we can take you up on it soon!

I enjoyed reading about the city we saw from our home at the base of Dungeness Spit. The canoes reminded me of my solo kayak paddle from the Spit to Victoria, something around 20 miles. I’ll never forget losing sight of Dungeness Lighthouse (curvature of the Earth) from my kayak; gulp. Lovely city. We still have friends there.

Hey!

Are you guys coming onto the mainland?? I would love to work something out to meet you in Vancouver, or you are MORE THAN WELCOME to visit us at our home in MIssion (an hour East of Vancouver).
