BC

In this case, BC stands for British Columbia. That is where I am. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is nother absolutely gorgeous city in Canada and I am grateful for having had the pleasure to spend a few days here. This is one of the most beautiful places I have been. I think I like it better than Lake Tahoe, better than even Toronto, my favorite city before this.

I did take some pictures, but somehow lost the best ones I took in Stanley Park. If you ever have a chance to come here, be sure to take the 6 mile hike through that Park. I was told 6 km, but after a detour I ended up with 7 miles before I left. I loved every step of the way.

When I get home, which will be tonight, I will post some pictures. I did not get nearly as many as I expected to. I was more into the feeling of awe and enjoying it than pointing a camera.

Some day, I hope to return here. In my dreams, I would live in Vancouver, BC. The city is unrivaled, the people are diverse, charming and friendly, and the beer is stronger. What is there not to like?

As close as Canada is to us, I have never been there.

I have a feeling that after all your painting and hard work, a trip to Newark, NJ would have been a nice break...LOL.

Glad you're enjoying some much-deserved time off!

I've never been to BC, but I would love
to see it someday.  I love Canada!  We
drove through part of it going to Niagara
once when I was living in Iowa.
Love,
Connie
