Last night at sea




Well, they have pulled up the gangway and we are ready to pull out of Victoria, Canada. It was interesting to visit a city at night. We did a quick driving tour in a bus and then visited a castle home. When we came out of the castle it was dark so the rest of the city was seen by their lights. Luckily, a lot of the buildings in downtown Victoria are lit up with white or colored lights. It was quiet chillly with a brisk wind blowing. I felt like I was out viewing Christmas lights. It is a lovely town and I would like to come back in the daytime to see more. Since it is an island sea port the temperature is moderate year-round. We passed a park that was completely brown grass. Maybe that is why they have so many beautiful flowers everywhere.

Even though it is 11:30 p.m. we will be out on our balcony for a little while. We want to watch the ship pull out of the harbor. Tomorrow will be another early day. We will eat a quick breakfast before we leave the ship in Seattle and quickly board our plane back to Nashville.
