The final Canadian Escapade was a stroll around Victoria BC while waiting for the ferry after our 2 hour drive south from Nanaimo. We hadn’t been here since 2004 and I’d forgotten how unique and exciting it was. The day was grey, which enhanced everything, and made you feel as you had stepped back into old English times. We say Orcas surfacing, but nothing spectacular. It was exciting to return to the US of A, and we're delighted with our next “home away from home” - Lake Crescent Lodge in Olympic NP.
