Our last full day in Victoria was a relaxing and leisurely one. There is a sign in front of the hotel across the street from us that says, "Night is for sleeping, day is for resting". That was our motto today. We went to church early and then strolled around the harbor and ended up back at the Helm's for a little rest. Then off again to explore the park where this picture was taken. It is called Beacon Hill Park. So peaceful and lovely. The flowers and plants are quite amazing. Apparently it is mild enough all year around that many things don't die. There always seems to be something in bloom according to the locals. After our park stroll we headed back for lunch with much anticipation because we thought we were going to be able to see the Packers. Only apparently local channels can choose which games they broadcast and the locals decided they wanted to broadcast the Seattle game instead. Guess it makes sense with Seattle so close, but sure was frustrating for Bob! He kept checking online and watching the updates on the tv. It looked like they won handily according to the last we saw. We did get to see most of the Brewers game so that was fun. After supper we took another stroll along the harbor area and back to our inn. We are making our plans for the long journey back to Vancouver. We are hoping to time it better tomorrow so that we can leave here around 9:30 and still make it to our hotel in Vancouver by around 1:30. The weather is supposed to be awful tomorrow, so we are not sure whether we will head into the city or not. Guess we will see what the day brings. Sad to say good bye to this lovely city. We have enjoyed our relaxing stay.
Toodles,
Bob and Deb

I just read your dedication and I thank you so much. We really are missing being with you. I will be ready after Thanksgiving for anything you might have in mind. (Branson anyone?)
Branson it is! Hope you do have a good couple weeks now. Looking forward to sharing our pictures.
