victoria III (the final chapter)

now that i'm back home, thought i'd fill in the missing photos...a random selection of my last couple of weeks in victoria



norman and i outside of emerg at Vic Gen (best preceptor ever!)


my roommates for a month (John and Jeff)


zen garden at the art gallery of greater victoria...the day i decided to borrow john's car to go see the emily carr exhibit and then proceed to scrape his new tire rim across a curb


victoria legislature and totem


tree outside the Victoria legislature


i decided to go to the bug museum one day and my first look at the bugs showed these ones mating


pink tarantula


a bug the size of my hand


awesome madagascar beetles in their (natural?) habitat


jon came to visit for a couple of days



so toby and mary came down from nanaimo and joined us for a hike and some chow at john's restaurant


john, me, jon, toby, mary and molly (the rockstar)


really big tree, gowlland tod


gowlland tod hike


toby, mary, john, me and jon at smoken bones


the breakwater at ogden point


the lighthouse at ogden point


side of the breakwater at ogden point


jon in chinatown




it was mother's day and we found roses in the water




one day i decided to take the galloping goose trail and try and ride to another town and maybe see the ocean...side trail on my way to metchosin


side trail off the galloping goose on my way to metchosin


somewhere on taylor road in metchosin


found the ocean, with a clear view of the mountains (American mountains, but still...)








it was worth the 40 km ride to find this beach, even if it meant going all the way down taylor road to find it (which inevitably meant having to climb back up to get on the trail home...don't mind my sock, i was bike riding)



among our chinatown candy finds:


john and the "everyburger"...a chocolate biscuit that resembled miniature burgers...john looks like a giant eating a regular sized hamburger


my new favourite candy...it's true, it's very powerful


so powerful it included a diagram
