The parade started at 9 AM. But we were already gone. I've been off to Victoria, B. C., on Vancouver Island for a meditation retreat. We were headed back to Oregon this morning and found ourselves a bit tangled in the staging for the Victoria Day Parade as we were driving to catch the ferry to the U. S.
Getting on the ferry and driving home were the main Things I get to do today. Before we boarded the ferry we walked past the Empress Hotel searching for a little shop that might offer breakfast items. The Empress Hotel: lodging for our honeymoon 43 years ago in June. She still looks great. And so do we. And one of these days we'll be there for the parade.
That is a beautiful building. 43 years!
ReplyDeleteGlad we've had that time to become the fine souls we are today. Same for you, right?
DeleteThat's some building! Hope you found your bit of breakfast. 43 years--you've done well.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes--a lush breakfast croissant with cheese and egg, and a bowl of fresh mixed fruit. Well fed, indeed. We're better suited to each other after all that time than we were at the beginning, but who knew that each day we would choose this?
Deletewhat a gorgeous building, and congratulations on 43 years! How was the retreat? I love meditation and yoga, a retreat is on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Abby. The retreat was terrific. You might research "Pranic Healing" on line. Their "Meditation on Twin Hearts" will make your day. This is work I've done for the past ten years. Go for it!
