Victoria, my home. (video)

[trevor]

Maybe we should have the gs rally...
I like a lot of the people in the video state...moved here from Ontario ten and a half years ago. Best move I ever did. I'm very proud of where I live. Sure there are down sides to living on an Island (ferry costs real estate costs etc.) but the benefits for me far out weigh that stuff.
I am so thankful for my family and friends that I have made while living in a paradise.


Yes the video maybe a bit sappy....

Been there, can't wait to go back. The ferry ride is a commute to you, but travels there, this time of year, on the ferry deck in a light jacket, was overwhelmingly beautiful. Breakfast at the Blue Fox set the tone and culture of the trip.

You are right to be proud. What is the cost of living like compared to Vancouver? I suppose that's a broad question.

I've never been to Canada...looks beautiful as does that entire region. Thanks for sharing Trevor.

Ha ha ha! I was doing ok with the vid until I saw the tugboats in the breakwater segment, yuck! In all seriousness The Capital City is a beautiful place, I lived there for many years and have some great memories. I think some of the best were meeting up with Trevor, Rob, Dave and a host of other old motorcycle types. A terrific community for sure. Add to that the fact that it has some of the best microbreweries in Western Canada and it becomes even more attractive. But I'm a small town boy at heart, so I'm glad I had the experience, I know I'll have good visits every now and then.

Isn't Victoria Island north of the artic circle? Everyone seems to be dressed rather lightly.

Geography Lesson for you Rob S. Just north of Washington State which is not the Arctic Circle.

Take this seriously I made an effort to: copy/save/crop/add arrow/upload/copy pb link/reply to this thread to do so. All in a day's work--on Christmas Eve even!

Thanks for the laugh!!!! I needed that.

Stetracer...Alabama and Florida are far superior to Victoria. Especially.... Mobile and West Palm beach

[Rob S.]

Got it. You guys are talking about Victoria on Vancouver Island. I was thinking of Victoria Island, which is way up there.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Right you are stetracer...Last year we took our son to Butchard Gardens and we were sitting on a hill waiting for the fireworks to start and we started listening to all the conversations around us. People were speaking German. Italian, Japanese, French..etc. etc....I said to my son..."never forget how lucky you are to live in a place that people will save all their lives to visit your backyard"...hopefully that will stick with him.
