Update

Having great time in Victoria!! Today we are going to the B.C. museum. Very excited for fossils and rocks. Then we are going to have tea at our hotel which is apparently AMAZING!! Last but not least we MIGHT rent bikes and ride around, but we are not sire yet. Tomorrow we MIGHT go on a zip line, fingers crossed. Tomorrow at 6:00pm Victoria time (3 hours be-hind NY) we are taking a clipper to Seattle and then we have a plane to catch at 11:30 Seattle time (again 3 hours be-hind NY). We will first land in Chicago (2 hours be-hind NY) and then we will fly home. See everyone later!!

Bye-Bye or TTYL or if g'ma cook checked this TTFN!! :-)

The house is family-sized and was designed by Polish partners Klausdiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikicuk for the Edutainment exhibition company!!
