Into Victoria

Jim,  Richard,  and I came into Victoria yesterday to see Ian.  We stayed overnight at the Coast Harbourside and had a great dinner at the Blue Crab.  I had the Dungeness whole crab and Jim had the Seafood Bowl.  When we arrived we were greeted with a poster that said we were "Guests of the Day" which meant an upgrade to a waterfront room and a $20 voucher for the restaurant…great stuff!

And we had some great swims.  I think the swimming was really good for my knee.  The pool is indoor/outdoor and has wonderful views of the harbour…a real treat.

It also just happened to be Richard's good friend, Kristen's birthday yesterday so he stayed with him and his family and celebrated his birthday.

We've really been enjoying the view and watching the Coho come in,  the whale watching boats, the seaplanes,  etc,

 Yesterday,  the day began with the Sun Run…nice to miss the several hours of cheering and "whoo hoo".

 A lovely surprise!
