Victoria, September 1999

 

Pat and I got another company paid trip.  We used it to visit Victoria.  This was a follow-up to our trip to Seattle in 1994.  We only had time for a day trip in 1994 to go to Victoria.  This time we get to spend several days.  The photos below are both from within and from the surrounding countryside.

 

Victoria is a wonderful city.  Pat and I will most likely visit it again.

 

Some post cards from Victoria.

Butchart Gardens

These gardens are wonderful.  There are a lot of flowers here that I cannot grow in Texas.
