October 14th, 2006 (PART II)






Holly here.

Well, its our last night in Victoria, so this might be the last post for awhile...

Our time in Victoria has been fantastic, and today was no exception. We spent the afternoon at Sooke Potholes Regional Park. It was very quiet and cool today, but still very beautiful. The main attraction of the park is the 'pothole' formations that have occurred through geological formations in this river system. We spent most of our time crawling and scurrying along the rocks like little crabs on a beach (we must have looked like five-year-olds). Jeff even brought his swim trunks and swam through a rock tunnel at one spot! The water was so cold...I thought he was going to die! But we had lots of laughs, some looking at slugs (see pitcure) and lots of exploring.

A personal highlight for me was seeing a Bald Eagle gliding through the river system as it carved its way through the land. The bird was very low, and probably looking for something to eat. It was so big, and beautiful and powerful...somehow it takes my breath away everytime :)

I've posted some pictures of the day for everyone to enjoy. I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments on the blog, and I hope that my words find everyone doing well.

Take care!
