Ian comes to town

Ian came over from Victoria today and we began with a drive around Stanley Park then out around Kits and the university area ending up seeing their old house on 2923 West 35th around  McKenzie.  Amazingly,  the house is pretty much as it was when Ian and Jim lived in it.  Most of the other houses have been expanded or torn down.  Beautiful chestnut trees and a lovely area.  Then to Tanpoco for lunch basking in the sun and a swim, of course.  Ian joined us on the beach for a bit then headed back to Victoria.

Ian brought over some great photos of Thanksgiving last year with Richard and Don and Elaine and a copy of the TC.....merci beaucoup!

A beautiful evening and we sat out on our balcony for most of it then decided we just needed a small snack after a big lunch so headed to Cloud 9 to see the sunset,  have a beer, and their dry ribs which we love.

 Most houses aren't "original"


 Beer, sunshine, great food...


From Cloud 9, a rather funny cloud formation....almost looks like a volcano!
