What's up with the weather? I guess people in BC are used to the rain - understatement of the year. We came out of the mountains Thursday evening - delayed a day due to a jack-knifed 18 wheeler on the Allison mountain pass and, of course, snow. Landed in Hope, BC, a small town of 8 thousand where the movie "Rambo, First Blood" was filmed. From there we took the number 1 highway into the coast. Our lovely little female attendant, Selena, our GPS device, decided to take us on a convoluted course which ended us in a 1 and 1/2 hour traffic stall. Jeesh! Gotta love that new technology.
Finally found Carl's place around supper and have been here for two days. Yesterday we took a drive around the whole of Richmond - a beautiful place and easy to navigate. We ended up on the seaside wharf tourist/shopping/dining place and stopped for lunch. Dipped our hands into the pacific for prosperity. Had supper with Carl, partner Anne and her parents and son. Lovely evening. Today we supper with Wally, G's brother and his family. Heading off to Granville island today some time. Could be the long weekend effect, we don't know, but there seems to be less traffic around.
It's like being in another world here with the weather. Green leaves still on plants, trees that I've never seen before, warmth that doesn't need a winter coat. Very strange. Even in the valleys of our travels lately, we've found such a diverse range of differences that astound and surprise us.
We have been away from home for a time now. We miss you all.
Hopefully, I'm not rambling on. If I do, just inform me. cheers!!
