Houseboats on Granville Island.
View of the bocce courts from the bar at the Italian Cultural Centre.
We took the little ferry to Granville Island last night to meet with Donna and Neil to see the Closer Walk with Patsy Cline show at the Arts Club. They've renovated the theatre since we've been there...wonderfully comfortable seats and a great view from the upper level bar and lobby. It's just great to get to Granville Island this way although Donna said the traffic wasn't too bad and she found out that parking is free after 7pm when the market closes. Good to know...Vancouverites are always on the lookout for free parking.
Then, for a rainy day program today we went to the Italian Cultural Centre...wow...very impressive facility and grounds and some interesting events. We'll probably take some in and perhaps even join. The restaurants weren't open for Sat lunch so to assuage Jim's disappointment not getting an Italian meal I suggested Las Margaritas which was wonderful and cosy in the rain. A super place in the sun and the rain and we both love the food there. I always get the lunch special which includes this wonderful tortilla soup and Jim gets his shredded beef enchilada with his rice and refried beans.
