Summer in Victoria

First thing first. Must pay respect to my grandparents and my old man, all of whom reside peacefully at Royal Oak burial park.

Also paid homage to my home golf course at which I spent over 20 years chasing an impossible dream...

Nowadays, I play very little golf but a lot of tennis. Beacon hill park tennis court is where I started the game in 1979. Brings back a lot of memories.......

Jessica my niece and Matt hosted a dinner for the family, but we missed Sam & Irene who are in Shanghai..

My sister Sabrina and Craig also came home to visit, and brought their canines, Rosie and Oliver...

Rosie is 12 yrs old and Oliver is only 4........

We are now half way thru our vacation, and I do miss the heat, and many things in Hualien. Victoria is nice in the summer, but just too damn cold most of the time. Mornings and evenings dip down to 10C, and day time temp only gets up to 20C, not exactly beach weather.
