Greetings from the beautiful Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada!
We are having a wonderful time here at the Inner Harbour, surrounded by West Coast yachtsmen who have gathered for the Annual Swiftsure Classic. The Ivy-covered Empress provides a stunning backdrop for this gathering of sailing enthusiasts.
Gary and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon of tea and crumpets at the Empress on Sunday. It was the perfect way to relax after Gary’s business trip to Seattle on Friday. We then made our way up to Victoria, taking a ferry through the San Juan Islands. The trip was absolutely breathtaking, and we had a great time exploring the city and taking in the sights.
We hope you are doing well back in Chicago, and we look forward to sharing more stories and adventures with you soon. Sending our love and best wishes from this picturesque corner of Canada.
Warm regards,
Mary & Gary
