Victoria British Columbia

Our new home is in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, where we live in the quiet burbs. Down town ( the city center) is a mix of harbor, old English style buildings, tourists and junkies. Everything is surrounded by the bay and so it is a georgeous place to live. Anna has been working as a temp (first job in a car yard - how appropriate) and Scotty has been house dadding with Maya. Together we have been finding our way around the city, discovering the attractions both obvious and hidden, seeking the best coffee shop and learning to drive on the right hand side of the road in our Pontiac Bonneville - affectionately known as Bonnie.Our house in Victoria British Columbia
