Canada update Vancouver

Now you may note that on the Google map (if you click the link) our boat looks

like it is in Canada but we flew here, leaving Navire moored back at Majuro.

Vancouver July 29

We looked expectantly at the gate as we came through customs. There was no old greying man

with a red hat. Are they going to turn up? I was so so tired, I'd not managed to

sleep on our overnight flight from Hawaii.

They did, these lovely people from the archives of David's past turned up. They'd shared parts of his life in Australia in the 70's.

Once again our luck was in. Bruce and Angela took us home for breakfast. Home

was a large old house set in dense trees and a moist green garden. I almost

melted when they showed us our room, dominated by a large House and Garden

pristine white bed. Angela, a fellow foodie, finally gave me the breakfast I had

been dreaming about. Fruit salad with peaches, plums, strawberries, blueberries

- have you ever been two years without those orbs of quintessential summer

flavour? She'd made gluten free granola, and provided GF toast. Crashed in the

heavenly bed and made up a little sleep time. Then lunch - real cheese, fresh

produce, I could go on. An afternoon tour of the neighborhood, a decent local

curry and bed for the best sleep I've had in months. Thanks Bruce and Angela for

your very enjoyable company and excellent hospitality.
