tourism: Fisherman's Wharf, Victoria, BC on a Sunday afternoon - 09/20/10 10:35 AM
We in Victoria are very proud of our beautiful Inner Harbour, so when my cousin from Seattle came to visit this weekend we took her down to Fisherman's Wharf on the Inner Harbour.

Most people think of Canada as a cold and snowy country. Well, not on Vancouver Island!
