Wonderful pictures Dan, I am sorry I missed you whilst here. I tried to get your email address as the Forum was down as you know.
Hopefully we can all meet up again another time.
Safe travels.

Now 'fess up, you're just up here to scope out all our Tudors.
That's one thing I've not seen yet, a Rolex/ Tudor AD. Still have time today though.

Ian, this trip has us scheduled almost every waking hour of the day. If you're in Victoria today [long shot, I know], email me [email protected].
If not, a great excuse to come back!

Great pix! I'm born 'n' raised in Toronto, and it almost looks better in pictures than in person. Good thing you missed the G"?" Summitt....supposedly they've been rehearsing motocades and security in the last week or so, traffic will be a nightmare from what I've heard. I've been planning a train trip across Canada for some time. Quick question, do you disembark and sleep in a hotel....or are sleeping compartments available?

If you have a sec, could you PM me?
Have a great trip,
Mark

Mark, spent most nights the last 8 days on the train's sleeping car [and bar car]. A few nights at the Jasper Park Lodge and two at Grand Pacific Hotel in Victoria.

Great frames Dan, you must have antireflective treatment on the lenses, because it looks like you are just wearing the frames
