In Canada

I made it safe and sound to Victoria. It is so great to be with Tara again. The plane flight was easy but long so I was exhausted when I got here. I slept in pretty late the next day. Tara had to work until noon so I took a nice jog to her work to meet her there. I ended up leaving a little early and hiked up a great mountain here where at the top you can see the mountains in Washington. I didn't take my camera, but I plan to today because it is absolutely gorgeous here. Tara and I drove around a little, caught up on life a bit, and then met her boyfriend for coffee at Starbucks. Thank goodness, we hit it off quite well. He talks like I do so Tara was quite amused observing us together. We had a quick dinner and then headed off to his play. We hung out with the cast afterword and didn't end up back home until around 1:00 (which is 4 my time) so it was a full day for me. We are headed to some gardens today that are quite famous here. We may do a hike too. I will definitely start taking more pics and post them this week. The pics are of me, Tara, and Craig (her boyfriend). Also the fountain is the view from her balcony. It really is gorgeous here. Oh, the car is the beginning of my trip when I had to drive to Pittsburgh. Sweet, huh?
