Victoria and beyond!

Hello all,

I do apologize for the time/days between posts but we are so busy doing things that I hardly have time to sit down and write a post!
For those of you who gave me your addresses and requested a postcard, they will be on their way to you very soon! :)
We got back from Victoria yesterday; we had been there since Monday.
Victoria was a very pretty capital city by the water. We were staying outside of the city in a place called Sooke which was SO much further than we thought it would be. The public transportation system there is quite extensive but it takes SO long!
Regardless of where we were (THE BOONIES) we had a great time in Victoria but we were also excited to come back to Vancouver.
We had a very long day of commuting yesterday. We left Sooke at 11:45 in the morning and did not get back to Richmond (where we're staying in Van) until almost 5pm!

In Victoria we got a real taste of what you can do in the boonies; hike!
We took a beautiful hike that led us down to an even more impressive beach. We hung out on the beach for a while (almost 2 hours) and then decided that dinner was calling our names. Both nights that we stayed in Sooke we had bonfires (which Jen loved because she loves fires). Our clothing now smells like fire and we will be very glad to do some laundry in the next few days!

We only have three more days in Vancouver before we head out to San Francisco. We were so busy being tourists in Vancouver at the beginning that we have yet to see what Vancouver has to offer.
We're so excited to be exploring the city for the next few days and hopefully discover some very cool parts of town!

Hope everyone at home is doing great and that the weather improves (we've heard Toronto weather has not been the greatest!)

In closing I'd just like to say GO PENS!! (Game 7 tonight!!!)

Love and miss you all
