Travel
The weather was beautiful today. Rather than go to an optional, non CME, lecture I hiked up Howe to Chapters (book store) where I found a copy of Vancouver by Davis. Yes, there were several other coffee table books, but his lecture was so excellent that I wanted the stories that went along with the pictures. It was really hard to go back inside, out of the sunshine after lunch. I also had collected a few pictures that were unique from an outsider perspective.
I didn’t expect brightly coloured taxis. It looks like someone scattered a box of Smarties.
Or a city that very carefully labels the nearest wall in impressive script to make the fire hydrant easier to find.
Not to mention my proof that the Convention Center looks like a cruise ship or that there is what could be a UFO landed on top of the Harbour Centre.
Knitting
In the slightly more sane world of sock knitting – I have Monkeys! Knit in sport weight LimeNViolet, 64 stitches on 2,5 mm needles they just sped along. I have to admit that the colour combination is obnoxious, but so are monkeys. That made it a great match.
Now, what socks are next?

Love the monkeys! Isn’t that a great pattern?
Baeutiful socks.
I drove Quebec, Montral, Ottowa, Toronot back in 97.
I’d love to visit Vancouver. John has and he relaly likes it. I like Canada very much-laid back.
Hopefully John and I will vist together but first I have to get over my terror of flying.
