We went to see the school that the boys will be going to today. They are starting on Thursday, so we'll have been in the country for just a week. It'll be good as they'll be able to start getting to know some other kids and we'll be able to get on with sorting out various bits of bureaucracy.
The school is named after Lord Strathcona (will have to look up who he is) and is on the edge of Chinatown. For Vancouver it's a fairly old school, but not as old as the archetypal Victorian school that Rowan was going to before.
Once we move to our apartment it'll be walking distance, but for now it's a walk, a trip on the seabus and a bus journey. It'll be great commuting to school by boat but I guess the novelty will wear off in a couple of weeks....
