This latest posting is coming from Seattle - home of Starbucks coffee shops. I saw the original one today.
The rain finally caught up with me on my last day in Victoria, but I still enjoyed visiting the lovely British Columbia government building (see picture) and the maritime museum.
Then I caught the ferry across the straits of Juan de Fuca into the Puget Sound and down to Seattle. In terms of border crossings it's a very pleasant and easy way to enter the USA, but I still had to explain the reason for my visit at both ends of the ferry ride.
It's been raining here too so I decided to have a morning off from sightseeing and did laundry, grocery shopping and other chores instead. My sightseeing this afternoon has been all free: the very entertaining Klondike Gold Rush experience (which counts as a national park not a museum so is free), the Pikes Place Market, and the public library - a very spectacular modern building. 
This is another nice hostel, with a comfy, quiet lounge as well as the usual kitchen, dining, computer, games, laundry and library facilities, and really nice shower rooms. Here's a picture of the dormitory so you get an idea of how I'm living these days!
