Great to catch up with Maureen and Helmut

We had dinner at The Sylvia last night with Maureen and Helmut  and we had a lot of laughs.  Helmut said the ski season at Whistler was the best ever so someone in Vancouver escaped the rain!  The Sylvia has done some quite significant renovations to their bar,  pub,  and dining room.   It's looking good and the new bar is quite inviting.  I'm glad we missed the "under construction" phase;  however,  the Burrard Bridge is going to be having work done for the next 18 months....ah well,  part of living in Vancouver.
