hello pnwx folks - especially the locals in vancouver/victoria.
my b/f & i will be vacationing a few days in vancouver next week. was wondering if there are any exceptional must dos, sees, eats, etc. in town.
i believe we're planning on a day trip to victoria -aside from butchart gardens - defiinitely going there, but anything else to see, do, eat would be greatly appreciated. if anything, just good restaurants - we like food (reasonably priced).

also, how necessary is a car to getting around? we haven't booked a car yet, but, if thing's are really walkable, then we just might do that.
much appreciated - & maybe i'll see one of your x's around town!
