victoria, part 3











Our walking tour today began in the Beacon Hill Park which is a center of controversy regarding the rights of the the homeless to use public space for camping. The park is large and beautiful, with many small lakes. We didn't see the tent city; I believe for now the tents may not go up until 9 pm and must be down by 6 or 7 am. At the far side of the park is a wide bay with mountains to be seen in the distance. The shore is pebbled with large round stones and littered with driftwood and seaweed. Coming back into Victoria we pass the government building. I don't think the pictures are in order, but I'm sure you can match them with their descriptions.
