Five observations from my recent Victoria adventure:
There are domesticated bee hives smack dab in the middle of the city! The Empress Hotel produces its own honey from bees in their lovely gardens.
It’s possible to gut a heritage building while leaving its impossibly thin exterior walls standing. For some reason, this fascinated me and I snapped a few photos every time I passed it.
Urban pigeons are quite aggressive when they see you enjoying a delicious, flakey Danish from Crust Bakery.
Even if you’re not especially into boats, you’ll see one you love in the Inner Harbour.
No matter how many times you do it, it’s no fun leaving your Boy at university. 😦
I would love to come to Canada one day, and this city will be on my list. It’s hard leaving them at uni, because of all it represents: they are flying into their own lives. Sending a hug. ❤️

You might feel quite at home in Victoria–they used to say Victorians were more English than the English!
