Fantastic place and great photos! When i get up in that area I will be sure to see it!
Happy 100th!!!
your friend in Charlottesville
Hi Charles...Thanks I'm sure Charlottesville is Great Place too,
I looked at your web site(loads quickly) lots of nice photos there too. Your real estate prices maybe higher than ours. Our average in now somewhere around $625,000 for a single family home here.
Love to meet with you over Tea or ..your favorite beverage.:O)
HAVE A HUGE YEAR IN REAL ESTATE IN 2008!
Fred, That place is truly magnificent and so are the photos you took, they are just wonderful....What a beautiful area, I would love to visit and see some of the lovely properties available.
Good Day Carole....What do think about the setting for this fine old lady?
I look forward to seeing you here soon, I'll take some time to show you around when you come. Yesterday was a perfect day to show off our weather here in the middle if January.
Cheers, have a nice day, see you soon?
Hi Everyone...this Blog in 12 hours is number 4 under Empress Hotel Birthday on Goggle, work with your long tail key words for good search engine placement on Goggle,
Cheers
Fred- What a great and beautifully historic looking building the Empress is! Happy Birthday Empress! Katerina
Fred, Thanks for the reminder of another glorious location and fond memories of the Pacific Northwest! I remember the Empress when we came up to visit Victoria and the visit to Butchart Gardens in May, many years ago! We lived in WA and would travel north in summer and winter on vacations. The Empress is by far, the most magnificent hotel you could visit! I hear WA got lots of snow dumped today! That's what I don't miss....
If anyone has the opportunity to visit Victoria, go to the harbor and see all the sights. And don't forget "high tea"!
Hi Katerina..A good excuse for the Gasset's to come this way, hopefully this Year..not only is the The Empress 100, but the Province of BC is celebrating 150 year Birthday too, and Victoria is the capital so this year should be busy.
Hi Sherry.....First Victoria does not get Snow...Well Maybe a little, we saw some today, first snowfall this year, but only in the outlying areas, nothing down by the Ocean or Inner Harbour by The Empress. They're spending a million dollars decorating the Lady for her 100th Birthday.
Drop by again soon.
Cheers
