Alaska Cruise 2011 Part Four

Day Seven

Victoria B.C., Canada

Oh we did go out of the Country Lol ;)

Yes, we finally saw Orca Whales

Strange to see a Urinal at an intersection, eh? ya hoser.

...also saw a t-shirt that said { why do Canadians say 'EH?'...because it's BETTER than saying 'HUH?' } Lol...

...and yes I am half French Canadian ;)

Gorgeous Evening Weather and Gorgeous City

The Podium Sports Pub yummy burgers and Yam Fries and we got to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals! It was fun to cheer with a bunch of the local Canadians...;)

I say to April, referring to the picture Josh is about to take of me in front of this Canada Mall...'April, Get in!' and she sees a Taxi and was like 'What!?!' Lol...funny girl!

The Empress Hotel

Parliament Building...Looked like Disneyland ;)

...and a Totem Pole...in Canada!?

Later that night I 'dragged' Josh out dancing one more time on our last night of the cruise...:(
My packing consisted of shoving clothes into my suitcase which was one of the Cruise Directors tips for packing...;)

Seattle, WA

Before the Flight Home

We had hours to kill before our flight home so we booked one last excursion on the ship to see Seattle, WA a little more up close and personal...We learned a lot more than we wanted to about Seattle and it's history...It was pretty cool though. We learned

The Underground City - We took a tour of the old city that was built before they learned of the seasonal tide changes and flooding would occur and dirty toilet water would stink up their town every day...

The first Flush Toilet and pump system was in Seattle, WA

First Nordstrom was started here

Amazon.com started here

Bill Gates and Paul Allen both born in Seattle and were friends {cofounders of Microsoft}

First Movie Theater with Sound here

The Experience Music Project next to the Space Needle Building...Forbes named it one of the world's ugliest buildings Lol ;)
