Tue, Jul 23: Victoria, Canada

We fly to Victoria, Canada.  A relatively short flight (2 hours 15 minutes).
Good weather, sunny, in the 70’s.
Our hotel is right on the water…two bedroom suite with large balcony facing the harbor.  We stayed at this hotel a number of years ago when we did a trip to Canada with Josh and his best friend Josh (Harris – our "other son" :-) ).

Walked around the harbor area a bit.
There was the annual International  Buskers Festival going on while we were in Victoria, with lots of street performers and musicians, and lots of food booths.

There is a “runway” for the seaplanes right in the middle of the harbor.  Coordinated by an operations tower to keep the planes and boats separated.
