Well, a day off for me, lol. Ritsue, her mom and sister headed out on their own on this Saturday. They took the sky-train downtown, then took an Aquabus over to Granville Island.
The aguabus selfie.
Another view of Vancouver. The weather wasn't our best June, that's for sure.
They had a good tour of Granville Island.
All that touring makes people awfully thirsty. (Should be the theme of the trip, "Get Thirsty!")
They finished their day in Gastown. That night we celebrated at home with my world famous Elk burgers. (Famous in my world, hyuk.)
On Sunday we started in North Nurnaby, where the locals know of another great view of Vancouver and beyond.
At the north end of Main St., you can see one of my favorite views, including the backside of Gastown.
We headed to Spanish Banks to enjoy low tide.
Seeing Vancouver from yet another angle.
Not sure what they're looking for.....
Next stop, Canada Place. Wow, there were 4 cruise ships in town on this Sunday.
....and the size!
Why so blue? (Actually, far from it. We were waiting our turn to ride on Fly Over Canada, the coast to coast flight ride.It was a blast!)
One last look around then it was time to eat.
We celebrated at Cin-Cin Italian restaurant on Robson Street downtown. Yay, bro Skip and my nieces were able to join us. A lovely last supper in Canada for Ritsue's mom and sister.
- At the airport the next day Ritsue presented her mother and sister these lovely Okanagan fridge magnets we bought them in Peachland.
A little quiet these days at the condo since Reiko and Chioko have gone back to Japan. The door is always open for a return visit.
