It was earlier in the year so there were no lineups. I am sure you will enjoy Victoria if you get a chance to visit the city.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-69935331735098089972014-07-22T13:17:09.582-06:002014-07-22T13:17:09.582-06:00This is my kind of book, Bill.

I just came back from a trip to Washington and I really wanted to take the ferry to Victoria but time didn't allow for it. Plus we learned that making reservations for ferry service was highly recommended in the summer months. When we saw the lines for people without reservations we had to skip any thoughts of sneaking in a visit to any part of BC. I've not been back to BC in many years. It's one of my favorite parts of Canada. Hope one of my next trips will include Victoria.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-85190647641762886982014-07-22T00:13:16.227-06:002014-07-22T00:13:16.227-06:00Moira: Thanks for the comment.

The book is actually a police procedural with the police officer a lawyer. I remember from recent post on Munro's Books your experiences with Victoria. I hope you get to read the book.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-19058523385241221332014-07-22T00:10:48.941-06:002014-07-22T00:10:48.941-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

(smiley face!) This sounds intriguing: as I've said before, we visited Victoria quite a bit when we lived in Seattle, so a book covering its history would make a good read.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-33825731654536844642014-07-21T05:42:01.561-06:002014-07-21T05:42:01.561-06:00Bill - Oh, this really does sound interesting!
