Vancouver here we come!

Wow …..6 months goes quickly. It has been another fantastic winter here - lots of visitors, music, tennis, Spanish lessons (slowly improving…), and always new experiences and discoveries along the way. 

This last month we had a blast with friends Dina and Simon and also Brian and Cheryl - chillin’ at the pool (it's hot now!), beaches (parties and volunteering for clean ups), boat trips, music festivals, the mandatory Margaritas, Pizza party, and Ed (our neighbour's) 98th birthday party to name a few…..

We fly next week (April 25th). Jonathan and Kendrianne have very kindly allowed us to sneak back into their basement suite in North Vancouver - we hope to “earn our keep”  by helping them re-do their backyard.  

Nicky and Phil are expecting their second baby (a boy!) early August so we are getting excited to be “Aba” and “Abo” to another bundle of joy! Rylie is excited to be a big sister too. 

We will be around until November (except for a quick trip to China in June) so hope to see you over the summer!  Our cell is the same so please get in touch…604-948-8859

Ed's piƱata was appropriately a very large bottle of red wine.



Beach clean up - we (the group) amassed 2 tons of basura

We will join the group again next winter.

It's rare to catch 3 identical pharmacists on the street at one time.

We will miss this place.

See you next November, La Paz

See you next week - cheeky face!
