Well, it was an exciting time in Vancouver, BC. I just returned and the city was exploding with the count down to the winter Olympics. Athletees pictures painted on the side of buildings in downtown Vancouver.
My trip consisted of eating a whole lot of Sushi, breakfast at Sophie's Cosmic Cafe, and walking downstairs from my daughters and having great tasting rich coffee and homemade cinnamon buns. I couldn't tell who was more baked the buns or the staff.
I got to see lots of old friends, go to pottery sales and saw Michael Moore's movie, "Capitalism, A Love Story" which I highly recomend.
A high lite of my trip was spending time with my daughter, son-in law, and his son. They took me to a Canucks Hockey Game, which was awesome, loved it. The Sedin Twins, Henrick and Daniel just doing their magic on ice and scoring goals. And thanks for the tickets Alex Edler, Canucks Team Player and to Barry for asking. I so appreciated it, and had a blast.
The down and up side was the weather, it rained almost every day, which, when, it's raining in Vancouver, it's snowing in Whistler................yeh that means Of course, it's going to be great for the Winter Olympics...and good luck to all the participants. Wish, I'd be there for the Canada vs USA Hockey game, but, $4500. a ticket is just a little bit out of my price range.
Whenever you leave Alaska, you so look forward to "going outside" as it's referred to, but, there is a love hate relationship, as, you begin to miss and look forward to coming back homw. My husband and dog Gertie were happy to see me. Of course I missed all of my Alaskan friends and family. I love being back home in Healy..... and made it for Christmas and will be going out for New years at Clear Sky Lodge, the best steaks anywhere..................
See you all in the New Year, and make it a good one.
