First Day of Summer


Old Spaghetti Factory


Cross Canada train


Chez Jules


Lunch!

We did have a fabulous first day of summer yesterday and since we wanted to pick up our Car2Go materials at their office in Gastown we decided to have lunch there. We walked past a patio that had Ricard sun umbrellas...Ricard being the most famous pastis in the south of France so a table there obviously had our name on it. It was a restaurant called Jules and I think we had actually been there before but not outside.

So, moules-frites (fabulous frites, Monique, very French) and crispy chicken wings with aioli saffron sauce...yum.

We saw the train in the station and reminded me of the trip Kerry and I did to Montreal for Expo 67. Brought back lots of old memories.

We passed the Old Spaghetti Factory on the way to Car2Go. Jim and I had many enjoyable meals there when we were going to UBC. For $1.98 you got soup or salad, main course, and spumoni ice-cream, and coffee. They still have that meal deal but starting at around $13 and more variety in the choices.
