Victoria and Forks Part 2

Okay, I know that I should continue with this even though nobody's reading, so here goes. (Bear with me, 'cause it's been a couple months and I may forget stuff.)

The next morning we drove down to the docks to get on our first ferry boat of the day (we were to take two). Even though there were signs EVERYWHERE for the docks, we just could not find the entrance to the ferry boat! It was insanity!
We eventually found our way through treacherous Seattle and arrived at the dock with plenty of time to spare.

Now, it would make sense, wouldn't it, to have a ferry that goes directly from Seattle to Victoria, right? But of course they had no such boat. So we had to take a ferry to the upper regions of Washington, drive for two hours, arrive in Port Angeles, and get on another boat to go to Victoria! So much driving and traveling in one day. As you can probably guess, we were exhausted. My friend and I slept most of the way there.

We were both excited to see the famous mountains of Washington! Truthfully, it was one of the main reasons we went up there. However, again, we couldn't see them through the thick layer of clouds hanging low over our heads. How dissappointing...

Once we got to Port Angeles, though, we could see the mountains! And they were truly glorious!

But of course the first time we see the mountains was the day we were leaving Washington to visit Victoria.

Victoria is a truly beautiful city. Even the office buildings have grace! Any normal day in Victoria would be awesome, but the day we arrived in Victoria was Canada Day, and everybody was celebrating.
I have lived near D.C. all my life, and I have to say, I have never seen such celebration on a national holiday. EVERYBODY had some sort of Canadian flag on them, and it was out of place to see a house without the red and white. That night the Paliament building was lit up, a stage was set up for a rap star to preform (I kid you not), and the air was positively electric.

Earlier that day, we visited the docks where two certain sea creatures lived and entertained...

They were so cute. ^_^

That's all for today (sorry it isn't much, but I'm kinda sick and can't remember anything).
