4 July 2022 Victoria BC: Sweet Sweet Lemons

 


Pucker up buttercup, we have located a giant lemon.  We attempted to communicate with it but remained incommunicado.  What an enigma.  We know for sure that it does not speak Norwegian beyond that we were mystified.  We did get to smell some flowers and see some dogs.  We agreed that a good walk is needed by both the dogs and the humans!  But it was the humans that had the two free drink coupons to use at the Empress Bar.


Will the lemon follow our cruise boat tomorrow?


Lots of countries competing in the commonwealth games in 1994 in Victoria


Were all 67 former British Colonies?


Blooming blasts


these trees were so fragrant


Old Historical placards lined the waterfront


One of the traditional canoes


My pose was a bit much for the folks waiting, I got some extra unsolicited comments


Orca


This cute puppy was chilled out and we got to say hi to the dog


Soon there was a crowd and we had worked up a thirst


The Empress serves local empress 1908 Gin as seen on the right


The gin part was blue but changed colors when the tonic was added see the drink on the left.  The  lady in the background has already gotten the tonic.


Happy A. Day to us!


All mixed up and ready to bubble into the future


Some giant olives would be nice as the gin has worked up our appetite.  A free drink from our server Andrea is even nicer!


Go Raven!


A fun day out!


Smell them roses


Whoo hoo








It has been 30 days since we began our Migration.
