I can tell you exactly why they would call it Beacon Hill in Victoria, there is a fairly good sized hill and you can see the Strait of Juan de Fuca quite nicely from there so it would be a great place to put a warning beacon in olden timees.<br /><br />Trobairitz - Thanks! Yesterday was much of the same unsettled weather we have had for a long time. It seems we only get one or 2 sunny days and then back to cool and unsettled. It started this way this morning, but is quite brilliant this afternoon. I am a little worried about Tofino and think it might be on the chilly side. After all it is 'Fogust' in Tofino. I can hardly wait to go to the Tofino bakery and have some goodies there. Counting the hours until I am done. I will post pics, luckily we get wifi at our campsite.

Curiously, my parents lived in the Beacon Hill section of Gloucester, a suburb of Ottawa. I always assumed that '60's developpers had little imagination and just named these places for the Beacon Hill neighborhood in Boston. Your post prompted me to Google Beacon Hill. Wikipedia has a list of places named Beacon Hill. Beacon Hill Park in Victoria tops the short list of places called Beacon Hill in Canada. I was surprised that both Beaconsfield QC and Ottawa ON made the list. Google brought up Calgary AB as well, so Wikipedia is not perfect.

It was such a beautiful day and most people where laying in the sun. Is it windy & cold over in Vancouver today? We went from 2 days of gorgeous sun to winter again. I have to zip the sleeves back on my coat, I froze today. I can hardly wait to get to Tofino and take pictures. I am so excited I can hardly stand it.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-56771214979637116182011-07-25T20:44:44.686-07:002011-07-25T20:44:44.686-07:00I have certainly enjoyed the walk in the park.

Did you wait until the people left the picture frame, or did you have the beauty of this park almost for yourself?SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.com
