Colleen had an interview today at Regents College on the campus of the University of British Columbia, so we were on the road at 6 a.m. this morning because we just didn't know what to expect at the border. We zipped right through and had time for a mid morning breakfast before her interview at noon.
I have driven through the city several times, and today reminded me again what a large and beautiful city it is. I am determined to make it a destination point sometime in the near future. Its myriad of small neighborhoods give a European feel, and it appears that walking and biking are both very popular there. We drove through Stanley Park this afternoon which afforded us some beautiful views of the water and surrounding mountains. We stopped in the park at the Sequoia Grill for a glass of wine and a snack. Again, we had a gorgeous view.
According to Gary's blog, they are going to take us up on our invitation and come visit for a few days. Now we are waiting to find out when. I had made the assumption that they were settled in out at Maryhill campground with the RV for the holiday week end, but apparantly they are home. So we will stand by!
We will take in some of the activities here in Steilacoom on Monday, the Fourth. We usually wander downtown for a while to watch the parade and check out the food and craft booths. I have never been able to muster the energy to go back down for the dance, but we do watch the fireworks. We have had the fun of having either the grandsons or the grandaughters here to share the day with us in previous years, but alas, not this year.
To our Canadian friends: enjoy Canada Day and the long week end; and to our fellow Americans: have a happy and safe Fourth of July.
Ciao
