We took about an hour and a half ferry ride from Vancouver to Victoria and spent about two hours at the Buchart Gardens. We got to our hotel in Vancouver a couple of days before our cruise so that we could relax and take in the sights and sounds and foods of this very clean modern city.Drank our first bottle of Chateau Prieure Marquet 2006 Bordeaux Superieur last evening. It was very smooth in comparison to our normal Cabernet Sauvignon. Now we'll have to try something else next week. It's a shame that I'm already looking forward to next week. Life should not be rushed!
Got skunked at cribbage today! Younger brother and his wife both skunked me! We play three way cribbage and even though brother won, sister-in-law also beat me good. Of course there's always next time. They did send me home with some nice cucumbers and peppers. Every one must know by now that our garden is a bit poky this year. When I returned home there was a bag that Grampa had found on the picnic table. It contained zucchini, yellow and green; cucumbers and best of all beans, green and yellow. We'll be splurging on veggies tonight!
