Avatar X2

Last week we took our boat to Victoria on Vancouver Island for "Victoria Days." It's our 4th year to participate and always a fun time to be "parked" in front of the Empress Hotel. The weather was chilly but sunny, always nice not to have it raining when on a boat. We reminisced again that it was 21 years ago when we first went to Victoria to celebrate BJ's 50th birthday during which it rained the whole time.

You can just see "little" Kaviar sandwiched in between two bigger boats.

These following two characters were new this year...part of the street entertainment. This "statue" who really did make me do a double take was amazing...but wouldn't it just be a whole lot easier to just go look for a real job instead of the work of dressing up like this every day???

This guy who played the violin badly, posed for me but when he wasn't playing he was either smoking (who knows what?) or talking to himself. I did give him an "A" for costume however.

So why the blog title "Avatar X2"? Victoria has this amazing museum and Imax theatre which was showing Avatar. So BJ and I went to see it and loved it so much we went back a second time. We are not science fiction fans but this movie just fascinated us and we kept saying, "how do they DO that???????? We did not see it in 3D but Imax was the next best thing.
