Visiting Mildred in Victoria

From Seattle, we took a ferry across the bay to Bainbridge Island and the road to Port Angeles and then the ferry to Victoria. We spent 2 days there visiting our dear friend Mildred Van Ommen, who was our neighbour in London Ontario. We did a walking tour of the city and had fish chowder for lunch. It was great to see her again and reminisce about old times.

Mildred has a beautiful condo in Victoria
