Back home again

We got home Sunday and it was great to see Richard and have a visit and lunch at Granville Island. It was a super day and so glad to see people got at least two good days on the holiday weekend. It was a good trip and Jim worked very hard and got good results for the research. And it was a real treat to have Roger and Kerry visit with us for a few days at the end and for us all to go back to Houston via San Antonio (where the Alamo is) and fly back to Calgary together. It made getting up for our flight at some ungodly hour bearable!


Jim and Kerry after we had the famous Reuben sandwich at the old Driskoll Hotel.


Our brave lads...


On the Friday before leaving we were around the university and it was fun to see the grads and their proud parents. Writing chalk congratuations seems a bit of a tradition.


Roger pointed out that the grads wear capes rather than hoods and they get to keep the capes...nice idea.


The bookstores along "the drag" were fun to browse in.


This pond at the University of Texas was stocked with about a hundred turtles.


All of us in front of The Alamo in San Antonio.


Then for a great lunch on the Riverwalk. Kerry had a fabulous Cobb Salad, I had oysters and the boys punked out with burgers.


Heading our separate ways in Calgary.


Walking to Granville Island for lunch we saw this rather interesting art installation a student had done.


Heading towards home sweet home on the ferry.
