Our tour Monday began with breakfast in uptown Victoria. We had a selection of restaurants and food courts to choose from so we broke into teams and hunted down our favorite meals. After breakfast we visited the Fairmont Empress Hotel where we took pictures on the grass then spent the afternoon walking around taking in the sights.
A special treat for the ears awaited as we made our various ways to Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria where we sang Salvation! The blessings were pouring forth as we were told that we touched the heart of one lady who commented afterwards.
Following our experience in the cathedral we enjoyed a tour of Craigdarroch Castle. We finished our day on the ferry where we ate supper on deck. That night we bedded down at Deer Lake School.
The choir spent Tuesday traveling from Deer Lake School in Burnaby, BC all the way to Portland, Oregon in the United States. It was long trek of 559 km that took nine hours.
The border crossing was surprisingly painless: We filed off the bus, got in line, sent our bags through the scanner, re-loaded the bus and were on our way. Crossing the border without any delays was definitely an answer to our prayers.
We arrived in Portland with just enough time to check into our hotel and stretch a bit before heading off to present our evening concert.
