We just came back from Victoria... (well not just... I had to finish my NaNo before I could write this... by the way I won!! Ok back to your regulatory scheduled vacation update...) and I really like that city. I wish Stefan's project had been in Victoria instead of Nanaimo because its such a nice place. The downtown is just beautiful. Theres this amassing soda shoppe that I just LOVE. We tried a Chocolate float last time we were there and then this time we had a raspberry and peach float that was SOOOOO good, and an Epic ice cream Sunday which was also really good. We had a really nice breakfast... and it's kinda neat Food Network was filming for a show call You should eat here while we were there this morning... I finally got eggs Benedict after craving it for like a month...(there are NO breakfast places in Nanaimo by the way...) and they were REALLY good. Stefan learnt that if a hippie barista at some coffee shop asks you if you want White Coffee you should say no. It tasted like dirty watter... There also are some really neat little court yard's with shops and stuff but the shops were a little uninteresting... but all in all wondering around Victoria makes for a lot of fun. Oh ya the Parliament Buildings look so nice dressed up for christmas.
We visited a Bug Zoo, I had been told about it by someone at the LARP and it was really neat. I had a millipede on my face... There was a guide who was telling you about all the bugs and she just continually went around the room talking about all the bugs and would take them out of there display cases and let us hold them. There was a really pretty spider that I liked and the millipede was neat. The centipede is creepy... they look so mean...
Today we went to Craigdarroch castle, it was really pretty. I like castles. They are so epic! They have a lot of story... its odd because in general I am not much of a history fan but for some reason I like hearing the history about buildings (imagine if we could find out all of Loyalist's history... that place is over 100 years old and probably has some story's to tell... it doesn't look like a castle but it's still really old...). I like Buildings...
Anyways it's sleepy time now, I am going to yoga in the morning (the first time back in a month... there were tooth doctor appointments... and then a scheduled change and an exam... so ya but I will go tomorrow... ) and it looks like I sold my bike... which is pretty sweet.
So there we go, I'm heading back to Ontario in less than two weeks... NaNoWriMo is over... sold my bike... I guess all that is left right now is to keep up with the Physics-ing and pack the house. All adventures have to come to an end at some point... otherwise you can't really call them an adventure... all in all I am happy with this adventure and ready to go home.
