Wow it's been too long

since I last blogged.

But Vancouver never fails to make me.

That's the party at Kathleen's and Gary's just yesterday evening. They are the crazy trampoliners.

Sun doesn't set till 9pm in Spring. And Spring is sweet :) Literally. Until you've breathed the putrid (ok, I exaggerate a little) air back home, you won't smell the sweetness. It's light, crisp, and sweet. We like it.

If only money didn't suck, we'd be back in a jiffy. What am I saying. We left precisely because money sucked so bad there, here, I mean. We are here now. On vacation. And it's helluva great one too.

ALL our friends made time to meet with us and to cook for us - again. We love it. Home-cooked food is just sublime. It's even more sublime just knowing they care enough to find time to cook for us. So we've been 'back' 4 days and we haven't yet had to find dinner on our own save for the first day we landed when we decided to try out 'Fat Burger' across the street. Sounded enticing enough but eating out in Vancouver zaps your pocket like magic ....plus the cooks are from I dunno, the class that didn't make it? Yucks. Paper taste better.

It's past 9 now and it's getting dimmer out there. Downtown looks like a concrete jungle from up here (we're at an apartment smack right like in CBD) but it's almost quiet....like people have almost all commuted home and the city's all ready, or rather, ALready wound down.

"Why is Vancouver so nice?" ask our kids innocently. We understand them perfectly. It is indeed nice. We did so miss it. But we're here now and for now, we shall enjoy it. To its fullest.
