Springtime in Victoria

Tuesday, 25 March 2008

Wearrived in Victoria to the smell of cherry blossoms and the brightyellow of daffodils. We are staying at the stunning Empress Hotel.Where the Queen stays. Oh yah. The sun was shining and the sky was aclear blue. It was like we’d all been released from some Siberianprison as we walked around fondling the green leaves on the trees andcaressing the budding flowers.

I had dinner at a great Japanese restaurant with my friend SarahKramer and her husband, Gerry. Sarah is the amazingly talented authorof “How It All Vegan”, “The Garden of Vegan” and “La Dolce Vegan” -three incredible must have vegan cookbooks. She and Gerry also run THE TATTOO ZOO here in Victoria. Wonderful people.

it is amazing what a bit of good weather and a dose of nature doesfor your spirits. Looking out at the ocean. Feeling the power of themountains. Breathing in the springtime air. It is incredibly uplifting.I could break into song at any moment.

We leave for Campbell River in the morning so must get some sleep!

Till then,
