This past long weekend we visited Hilary who lives & works since October 2018 in Vancouver. Mark and his girlfriend Carly joined Mary and me. We flew with SWOOP Airlines from the regional airport in Hamilton to a similar airport in Abbottville an hour outside of Vancouver. Hilary lives there in a very nice condo near Stanley Park overlooking the harbour area and works in a hospital across from there in North Vancouver (just for six months but what a view for that period!). On Saturday we rented bikes (and one tandem bike) and went all over the city....
I copied these photos out of a message from Hilary. My lack of technical skills can't get them in this blog-post the right way, but who cares. It was exhausting business all this cycling around....
We had a nice lunch and dinner with our friends Val & Steve who live already a long time just south of Vancouver (see posts of May 2018 when we stayed a few days in their home). The next day we drove to Whistler where we stayed one night. On the way the youngsters walked up a mountain...
Hilary and her boyfriend Shayd are already real mountain goats, but Mark and Carly did a good job keeping up with them (while Mary and I waited for them at the top....)
The next day (Monday, a national public holiday in Canada) we checked out Whistler a bit more and had a nice walk around one of the local lakes. We flew back overnight. Tired on Tuesday but with a lot of nice memories of a weekend with the six of us......
