It was the last day of freedom before the boys went to school yesterday so we went 10 pin bowling in Burnaby where we lived when we were over in 2004. There isn't another 10 pin bowling alley downtown which I was very surprised by. Aparantly they have 5 pin bowling here which is unique to Vancouver, but I shied away from going to it with the boys as it is quite hard to do when you first go.
Travelling back across the Burrard Inlet on the seabus the sun was shining on the North Shore Mountains and it was really beautiful. I thought, this is a fantastic place to live, we're so lucky. It is absolutely stunning when the sun shines.
People are, for the most part, very smiley, and want to help you if at all possible. They do have a problem with my accent though. Most people who work in shops and coffee bars are Chinese or Japanese and are used to hearing the North American version of English - they don't understand my dropped vowels, so I often have to repeat myself.
But I don't have to talk to the Mountains, just look at them.
