[QUOTE="Jeremiad, post: 170950, member: 3108"] Day 5 was a different kind of day. I had a couple of meetings to take care of that took up a lot of the day, but we did get to meet up with a family member who I have never met before. A cousin of my father's joined us for lunch, and it was great to put a voice to a Facebook profile. It was mid-afternoon before we could finally start making our way down to Victoria, and once again google maps made the trip seem a lot closer than it was. Nearly three hours to get down there, and although I have been there before, I just can't get enough of this place. Every time I go there I know that I need to come back and see some more. Something that caught my attention and I knew I needed to see was Craigdarroch Castle. Although it was built as a private home, this structure is an absolute marvel of the late 1800's. [ATTACH alt="20190710_165806.jpg"]29543[/ATTACH] So many amazing things about this incredible building. The magnificent tower at the entrance is fascinating. From the rounded wood to the curved windows. The alarm switches are original, and this place has had hot and cold running water, electricity and gas since it was built in 1887-1890! [ATTACH alt="20190710_165859.jpg"]29544[/ATTACH] This gas fireplace in the foyer welcomes visitors, and its message stands true more than 120 years later!
