Bicycle Tour Highlights

Last day in U.S.A.?

So I failed today's competency test.  I was booked for a ferry ride directly to Victoria from Seattle and I overslept, not waking up at my alarm or even becoming aware of the time until 10 minutes after the boat had departed.  Tomorrow is now going to be the day of return to Canada.  Great, all the more time to bike circles around the city and try to find something of interest.
Todays stops of interest were the Volunteer Conservatory and the Central Library.  Both fascinating in their own rights.  The Conservatory had displays of Chrysanthemums, cacti, and ancients (plants that have existed for a very long time).  The Library is a modern structure with an overhanging roof and walls of interlaced steel and glass.  Very aesthetically pleasing, especially the views of downtown from the top floor.
