Five days- we are the barely walking wounded. I try to pack light so in place of tennis shoes I bring a pair of black flats. Due to the current state of my memory I never recall that the shoes give me huge blisters after about 10 feet. I am still limping around. Then, when we had lunch with Ed, George fell. It was a long drawn out fall that seemed to go on forever. He finally landed and appeared to be fine, but he is badly bruised and two of his toes are in pain. Finally, after dinner last night George was brushing his teeth and realized he had lost half of a tooth. We are hoping we get back to the states before we need medical care.
We were going to relax and sit by the pool today, but decided to give Victoria another chance. I should say where we are staying for future reference, Oak Bay Beach Hotel. We took a wonderful ride to Duncan and had a yummy, yummy lunch. When we returned we went swimming and basked in the sun. It was beautiful, overlooking the ocean, quiet, really breathtaking.
So about the room. Wow. It is almost as big as our house. The shower is sublime, and then there is the bathtub. Well, the bathtub. It is large, comfortable, and yesterday when I took it for a spin I ran into a little issue. I reached behind the faucet to a lever I thought would lower the plug in the tub, when all of a sudden this wand (located to the right of the faucet) began spurting water and leaping out of control. I was able to grab it, turn off the lever, but I still have not been able to figure out what the Canadians do with it!
Happy Anniversary Elizabeth and Ben. We are so proud of both of you and we love you more each year.
Tomorrow - Whisler
Hope you make it back in one piece. I hear Canada has free medicine if you have years to wait.
