    This entry shows more of the beautiful Butchart Gardens. After spending time in this gorgeous place Jan and John took us to the waterfront in Victoria, the island's capital. We saw the impressive Parliament Building. The city seemed really nice.

    On the way to their home in Nanaimo we stopped off for a short time at a park (Goldstream?) just a bit north of Victoria. It was dinner time by the time we got to Nanaimo so we stopped at a restaurant there for dinner. Jan and John we remembered as advised games fans - card games and board games. They still are, particularly Jan, so once back at their home we played a game unknown to us called Wizard. They have a lovely home but are thinking they may sell and move to Victoria once they know the location of the newly announced (April '24) temple.

    We had a fabulous day and we're grateful we have kept in contact with this good couple.
