This past sunday, my mother asked me to accompany her to Victoria so that we could help my sister move into a new house. I was planning a good week of blogging among a great variety of other activities, but family duty called. And I was happy I could answer.
Victoria is such an interesting place. I still believe that the best looking people in BC live there. Maybe its the ocean air, I'm not sure. There is also a certain common and quite distinctive style of development in the municipalities that make up Greater Victoria. Quaint, human size, and quite friendly to all types of people.
My sister lives in the Cadboro Bay neighbourhood. The "village" area seems small to the eye, but there actually is a great selection of shops and services. Coffee shops, pub, grocery store, pharmacy, gift and book shops. You see all sorts of different people - toddlers to very senior citizens. UVIC is a short walk away.
I took the bus one day to meet a friend downtown. Fare is $2.25. In Kamloops, I feel happy we only pay $2.
Looking forward to blogging more this next week, lots to point to and talk about.
