VICTORIA, BC

imageThe four of us took the day and went to Victoria, BC.  And what a beautiful place it is and always has been.  My first trip,was at age 2 and I remember the ferry ride, specifically the red stools in the diner which spun around and some little cement things in Thunderbird Park that were fun to lay on.  And especially I remember the fantastic totem poles.  Happily, they are still there although since our last visit those cagey Canadians have built a beautiful museum and put some of the fragile and special totems inside.  Most of these hand carved totems adorned lodges of the Salish people on Vancouver Island.  My stellar (haha) photography sure doesn’t do them credit, but hope you can at least tell what they are!
