It is remarkably picturesque with very good weather for a coastal location (unlike Vancouver and Seattle where it rains a good deal). It is a little bit of Jolly Old England cast asunder from the UK. As a matter of fact I feel like a foreigner when I visit there! The clincher is that the Canadian dollar is trading at around $0.64US so it is ridiculously inexpensive for US tourists. It has charming Parliament buildings, a fabulous museum and Afternoon Tea at the Empress (proper attire only please, no shorts and wear a tie). Photographically speaking it features Ted Grant and his wonderful significant other! We had a delightful visit with them and took the opportunity to buy a signed copy of his book. So tell them to go for it. I would be delighted to pass on my meager knowledge to them if they have any specific questions.
