Vancouver Island in March

Victoria has had a cold and rainy March. When we came here two years ago it was much warmer and spring was in full bloom. Not this time.

However...

Ottawa has been having a horrible snowy, cold, freezing rain, disgusting March. We are so glad we aren't in Ottawa. Thank you God.

Pictures below are from Victoria, Sidney and Nanaimo.

Parliament buildings and harbour in Victoria

Harbour in Nanaimo


Cute little tug boats in Nanaimo Harbour


...and cute little sea plane

Now this is obviously a Nanaimo bar, a must to eat if you're in Nanaimo. Now for the record Fred ate it and not me. Really. He said it was pretty good.



Nanaimo harbour again


There were three peacocks that day in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria


You looking at me?


Love that trunk


Pretty in red


...and blue


...and greenish yellow


Guess who found Smithwick's Beer? Yum


And I finally figured out where Victoria got its name
