Here we are at Merridale Ciderworks - western Canada's largest cider producing orchard. After our self guided tour we enjoyed a light lunch and tasted 6 varieties of hard cider.

While walking around downtown we heard fun music from these guys. Slim Sandy and friends. The accordion player is David P Smith, who Eric plays with in the band David P Smith and the Euphorians.

David and Judy Gislason arrived in Victoria on the Sunday evening before we left. It was nice to see them again and have a nice visit.
