we visited the royal bc museum sunday. they had a spectacular display of local history and we had the pleasure of watching a young storyteller bring local legends to life with his orations. afterwards he gave us some local bits of information. the empress hotel was originally built on a shallow part of the bay originally a dump and now it's slowing sinking.
monday i saw my first "suit" in a long time. a man dressed for work. my first thought was oh they still wear those? it's been a long time since i've been in a cosmopolitan city. as we walked through the city i head languages i couldn't identify and saw a real mix of cultures. as we left the harbor we had to contend with lots of traffic from small water taxies to pleasure craft, ferries anda seaplanes. the pictures here show the traffic, a wonderful car created in the 1940's, a truck carrying hanging baskets, and marina shots.
