Our second day in Victoria we spent at Craigdarroch Castle and Christ Cathedral Church. (We went a few more places too, but these were our favorites and where we spent the most time.) If your looking for a great bagel place, try "Bagels on Broad"! Mmm, they were SO yummy. They make a subway style sandwhich out of your choice of bagel and your choice of like 10 different types of cream cheese. (Maybe this is more common in some places then others, but I don't have one anywhere near where I live and we loved it!) I just have to say, Adam took most of these pictures. He is really good and always includes lots of detail, so I am leaving out a ton of great pictures that I just don't want to take the time to upload. :)
I found this sign to be amazing. In 1890 this woman was worth about $20,000,000!!! And, all my black furniture is very chic! Its called "ebonized" :) I knew I was fancy! (thats the other highlighted word and the picture below shows an example....looks a little better then mine does!)
This next one makes me laugh. We went down to the bagel store to get lunch. And as we pull up the street I noticed something draped all along the street. (3 blocks and on both sides of the street!) A radio station was doing a breast cancer awarness ploy. Oh my!
We took a LOT of pictures inside this church. It was really very cool and had a lot of neat history in it. It is still an up and running church, but they have lots of interesting "tourist" stuff about the history of it hanging on the walls and all over. (What better way to get people into your church!) There were all kinds of cool geometric patterns, lights, colors, stained glass and lots more!
I'll have to post more pictures of the church later...I'm running out of time this morning before my "Moms Group".
