Saint Ann's

I haven't posted in a while, but here's an update on what I've been doing lately. Mike and I stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast, which i will try to post a picture of later, but it's called the Hartmann House, and it's definitely the nicest place we've ever stayed at before. There's a huge king size bed with a wooden canopy, a two-person jacuzzi tub, a fire place with real wood in it, not the fake kind, and a pantry connected to the main house, where our lovely host left our breakfast in the morning. Heart-shaped waffles, berries, fruit, and ham. Yumm. We also went out for dinner and had a great meal at Markus' Wharfside. Mike had his new favourite, lamb, and I had the chicken breast. Dessert was chocolate mousse, with a raspberry sauce. On our way home the next morning ( I didn't want to leave), we stopped to play some mini-golf in Sooke.

This week is my last week of school! I'm very excited to have a couple of weeks off for some holiday time. On Sunday I had a nice relaxing day at Thetis Lake, went for a swim and did some research for my paper on Saint Ann's Academy in victoria. It's actually a very interesting topic. I did a tour of the Academy yesterday, had a lovely woman be my tour guide, and got some free research information. The chapel is beautiful and is the oldest in BC, with beautiful statues, stained glass windows, and three huge paintings done by one of the sisters. They were very gifted artists. They also have a lovely garden which I hope to have a chance to walk through soon. One of the paintings said in latin underneath it: "stupebout omnes qui eum audiebout". Anyone know what this means?
