The days have been odd – a weird mix of restlessness and not wanting to do much. So we sit and relax. A day for reading and writing it seems.
To me, the weather seems to accentuate this. It is sunny out, but there also lies a chill wind. It is hard to believe sometimes that the ocean air can reach this far in. We lie a good four kilometers from the ocean.The scent of the the ocean still reaches us though.
It would be nice to have some rain to wander through. We don’t see as much rain as we would like, seems Victoria does not see near as much as the mainland can. Almost like we have a little shelter. It stays temperate though. rain or shine it stays warm, quite the change from the prairies.
We still need to explore this area. We know downtown, and the area we live, but have yet to really explore the city.
The city is small. We almost want to laugh when people give disdain about driving to Victoria from Sooke. It is a half hour drive during busy hours, but everyone here seems so used to the short distances. Two of the major roads are only a block apart, and the blocks are much smaller than they are out east.
We will most likely be wandering later today.
