Travel: Victoria China Town
2026-07-03 - Victoria, BC, Canada - Photo by Trey Stephens
Trey's recent Alaska cruise included a stop in Victoria, British Columbia (so that it would legally be an "international" cruise, to be in compliance with US Law). While in Victoria they visited Victoria's Chinatown, along with the famous Fairmont Empress Hotel and the British Columbia Legislative Assembly.
Trey said of the stop, "the architecture of the buildings, the fresh flowers on every corner, and the brisk sea air made any stroll in this port worth the steps!" Comments | Permalink (Ad) For Sale: Beautiful old deck chair

If only this beautiful old deck chair could talk, oh! the tales it could tell! The SS New Amsterdam was a Dutch luxury cruise ship in operation from 1938 until she was repurposed for WWIl. The craftsmanship is superb, with the chair folding to a width of only 7". Brass plate on back of the chair says "SS New Amsterdam", and the brass plate on the seat says "First Class Only".
$300 OBO. Made of Teakwood with brass fittings, this chair is surprisingly comfortable. Russell Springs, Kentucky. For more information, contact Donna by email at cliftycreekkikos@aol.com. Comments | Permalink Organically grown Oregano

Donna writes, "Organically grown Oregano, dried on the stem, then stripped and put in a vacuum-sealed jar. My kitchen smelled so good while I was crushing it!" Comments | Permalink Older Photos
