Snowbirds
We got into Victoria on the evening of July 30th, settled into my mother's place, then walked along the seawall towards Clover Point to watch this mini-airshow put on by the Snowbirds air acrobatics team.
I'd never actually seen a show like this and I was more impressed with it than I thought I would be. The setting probably helped. We watched from a cliff overlooking the Juan de Fuca Strait with the Olympic Mountains in the background. Unfortunately, I kept having all these news clips run through my head of tragedies at other airshows where two stunt planes collide and then pinwheel into the crowd killing dozens of blind arthritic nuns.
Fortunately, nothing like that happened. No planes crashed. No nuns were killed, and it was a gorgeous evening.

You might be able to type it but I don't believe you can say 'Juan de Fuca Strait' with a straight face.

It's pronounced "Wand a Few Ka" which can be translated as "Magic stick of not that many poos".
:-P
