Victoria June 2011 -- part three

Here is the last installment of photos of our trip to Victoria. These are of various day trips or excursions. As you can see we had wonderful weather and exceptional hosts!!

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.

Eric and I are checking out some artisan bread at the Moss St Market in Victoria. Also at the market - local produce, locally made soap, artisan cheese, and much more.
Downtown Victoria hosted free music for the Jazz festival.

A panoramic shot of the St. of Juan de Fuca. Looking south from Beacon Hill park at the Cascade Mountains in Washington state, US.
Sunning our legs.
More fun at Beacon Hill Park.
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.
Eric and Kristy live in an unusual but lovely home. You can see that at one end it is fairly narrow and gradually gets wider and wider!
