from carrots and squid to gnocchi, trout
and striploin.
With full stomachs we met up with
Discover the Past for a Ghostly Walk
through downtown Victoria. Guided by
a remarkable storyteller we embarked
on a memorable night walking through
haunted alleyways and learning about
Victoria’s gruesome past. In all my
travels, I have found it is only through
learning about a place’s history where
you can truly appreciate its present
day. Before our tour I had not thought
much about where Victoria got its start.
Afterwards, I walked away feeling more
informed and had a greater understand-
ing about the place we were visiting.
After another dreamy night’s rest we
headed back into the city for a quick
shopping excursion and a good perusal
of Munro’s book. Whenever we travel I
like to find locally made items to take
home to remind us of our trip later.
Time and time again Salt Spring Island
Cheese and Roger’s Chocolates are at
the top of our list. Despite the clouds,
our flight back home did not detract
The 45-minute flight to Victoria’s Inner
Harbour offers arguably the quickest and
easiest ways to cross the border into Canada.
from the natural beauty of our journey.
As we flew past the Space Needle and
made our quick descent back to Lake
Union thinking back on our trip felt
more like a dream than reality. Being
swept away for a few days as a cou-
ple was just what we needed to feel
refreshed and be reminded why, after
all these years, we are still each other’s
favorite people on the planet. And that
feeling alone is reason enough to book
another trip very soon.
