He didn\u2019t understand (more to the point, he probably thought I was a bit daft) until he went there with me. It\u2019s a special place and it\u2019s a nice place to go for a walk and enjoy nature in a very park-like setting. I don\u2019t have any real desire to be buried but, if I could, I would want to be buried here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-585 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rossbay9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rossbay9.jpeg 372w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Rossbay9-300x178.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Things of note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is parking along the some of the streets that surround the cemetery as well as a decent (about 15 spaces?) row of parking right across the street at the breakwater on Dallas Road.<\/li>\n<li>There are paved, maintained walkways through cemetery. When we were there some of the paths were a bit cluttered with fallen leaves, but there was ground staff there that were working on keeping things clear.<\/li>\n<li>There are park benches around the grounds where you can sit and rest if you need to (or if you just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery).<\/li>\n<li>There are some Canadians who are important to history buried here. If you wish to find the grave of a specific person, you can visit the website here: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oldcem.bc.ca\/cem_rb.htm\">https:\/\/www.oldcem.bc.ca\/cem_rb.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li>To visit many of the graves you have to get off the path and walk over the lawn. Some of it is very uneven and narrow in a way that would not be suitable for wheelchairs, walkers, or some other mobility devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I love this place because it holds childhood memories of living in Victoria, but mostly because it\u2019s a serene, gorgeous spot to walk or rest. There are many different kinds of headstones and monuments, a variety of trees that are quite gorgeous and, if you\u2019re lucky, you might see some deer. We saw 7 deer in the space of about 45 minutes. Of course, docile as they may seem, deer are still wild animals so we always respect their space and give them a wide berth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-577 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/RossBay1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/RossBay1.jpeg 323w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/RossBay1-154x300.jpeg 154w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-582 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ROssBay6-1024x591.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ROssBay6-1024x591.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ROssBay6-300x173.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ROssBay6-768x443.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ROssBay6.jpeg 1094w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I like the idea of a lovely deer with big velvety antlers sunbathing on my grave.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a very important memorial.
