The Last Flashback

I did not finished to write about the last adventure trip that I had in my vacations in Canada. Although it was, perhaps, the most exciting and nice moment of the travel. But now, as I am on vacations (how many times have I said that?) I got the enthusiasm to narrate the tour.
I went to Victoria with some of my classmates. Before to leave Mexico I heard that Victoria was a beautiful city with lots of British influence, however in my normal or standard trip that city was not included. But almost at the end of the month I had the desire to go there and six friends and me were determined to do this travel.
Everything began in the evening, in a McDonald's 24 hrs opened. Why? Because the first bus to the Ferry departs at 5:45 in the morning and the Sky Train and the buses start working at 7:00 and SeaBus at 8:00 (because that day was Sunday, [January the 4th, 2009]). So, the solution was to sleep in a near 24 hrs opened store or restaurant and that was what we did.

Once the sun rose up, we walked to the Bus Terminal that was in front of the Main SkyTrain Station (I added this sort of details to the people that could be interested in emulate the experience). There we bought our 74 Canadian dollars travel ticket.
This way, Claudia, Mami, Saki, Mario, Pedro, Kazu and me initiated the four hours long journey (Bus-Ferry-Bus). The following picture shows one of the Ferries crosses the sea:

These are Pedro and me

In Victoria we looked the outside of the British Columbia Parliament:

Then we visited the Royal BC Museum, there I found the first evidence of the Traditional Canadian Yeti, those are "Mr and Mrs Coyote and their Magic Kettle":

And this is "The Giant Animal People", Wasn't it enough evidence?

But being more serious... We were walking around the China Town and there we had a Chinese lunch with an unfriendly waitress.

Later we saw a weird but pro-ecological bicycle

This is the Victoria Centennial Square

A nice named pizzeria

Unfortunately I was in Victoria 4 weeks before the Victoria Film Festival

Hugo in a very British telephone

Quadra or Street? (kkkkkkk, Bhooo...)

To finalize the day we take a coffee meanwhile it rained in the outside.

This is again the BC Parliament but now with a toys-like illumination.

And at 6:30 of the night we undertook the journey home.

guau!!! dormiste en un mcdonalds? y no los corrieron? o tuvieron que dormir en la calle. pero eso no se puede no? por el frío. qué hicieron?

y esos dibujos de coyotes-humanos son de verdad?

y por qué saludas en la última foto como niño asiático, así con el símbolo de "amor y paz", TODOS los asiáticos hacen eso cuando les van a sacar una foto. bueno, de hecho creo que solo los japoneses.

Sí, esa fue la idea, pernoctar en el McDonald's, pero eso lo hace mucha gente, además de numerosa homeless people... Además, fue la segunda vez que lo hice, primero nos quedamos en un Tim Hortons con los de genómicas y luego pasó esto.

Sí! esos dibujos fueron la primera evidencia que encontré en mi búsqueda del Tradicional Yeti Canadiense

Sí, eso sólo lo hacen los japoneses (siempre) y eventualmente yo.
